This week’s Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge asks us to do “something different.” We are asked to share our own portrait and to write something about ourselves.
Okay. Well, when you blog anonymously, it’s sort of antithetical to share your actual portrait and to write about yourself, is it not?
Most of what I am willing to share with you, my readers, is already stated in my “About” page. If you haven’t read it yet, click here.
But in the spirit of this challenge, I have posted a self-portrait. Well, a close-up of my mustache, lips, and beard-covered chin. And those are my actual eyes shown on the header image of this blog. So if you put the header image of my eyes together with the image at the top of this post of my mustache, mouth, and chin, you can let your imagination fill in the gaps to know what I look like in real life.
As to writing something about myself that I haven’t previously revealed in the 965 posts I’ve posted so far on this blog, that’s going to be hard.
So here’s what I propose. In the comments section of this post, ask me anything you want to know about me. I’ll pick five or so questions and write a post answering them.
And if I don’t get any questions in the comments, I’m going to have to assume that you either already know everything you want to know about me and that you have absolutely zero interest in finding out something about new me that you don’t know.
Or that maybe you simply couldn’t care less. Ouch, that hurts.
This, That, and the Other 
Well, Fandango, it is a true pleasure to discover a little more about you 🙂 Nice whiskers you got there! I will propose a question for sure, but I’ll just think about it a little, to find something worth asking, if you pick it in the end, that is 🙂 xx

I love those eyes and guess I’ll have to photoshop to bring you altogether, uh, no, I have no idea how to do that! Let’s see, you have said you live in SF which is one of my fave cities. Btw, had my first sourdough sandwich there, I think it resembled a “philly steak”. It was cold and did the trick to warm me. Take a ride on a cable car for me, please? ☺️

Seriously? Wow. I wonder why I just suddenly stopped showing up in emails. I wonder if it’s everyone’s or just yours.

You have completely disappeared from the search engine. Your name “fandango” brings up nothing and since you don’t have a listed name, unless you alter you name to something that isn’t what WordPress considers “open territory” and anyone can use it, you are gone. I have not gotten any of your emails in a couple of days … I found this one by chance and otherwise you are gone.
I can’t track you down and you’re gone from my follower list — and your title no longer comes up. I also don’t have your URL. So you may want to deal with this. It too me a month to get around to it and i lost an awful lot of followers while they were screwing with me.

As to my most embarrassing moment, I posted about it here (https://fivedotoh.com/2017/07/15/going-commando/) last July.
My choice for POTUS? That’s a tough one. Maybe JFK? I am curious as to what might have been if his life had not been tragically cut short.

Do you have a “bucket list” and what are or would be the top three things on it? If you won a million dollars what would be the first 3 things you would do/buy?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hmm. A bucket list, huh? One — I’d like to buy an RV and drive (with my wife, dog, and cat) to every national park in the country. Two — I’d like to have an extended visit to Australia and New Zealand, since I’ve never been to either country. Three — I’d like to have a role in a movie or TV show.
Okay, a million dollars. One — Buy that RV. Two — pay for round trip air fare to and from Australia and New Zealand, as well as hotels and meals. Three — Bribe some producer to give me a role in a movie or TV show.

Probably not much left over after buying the RV and paying for the tickets and accommodations. Good point.
