I must be. Otherwise Sadje, over at Keep It Alive, would never have nominated me for the Real Neat Blog Award. Right?The rules for the real neat blog award are:

• Display the award logo.
• Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to their blog.
• Answer the questions from the blogger who nominated you.
• Nominate seven to ten bloggers.
• Ask them seven questions.

So, the award logo is above and I want to thank Sadje for the nomination.

Here are the questions she asked her nominees to answer:

Where does blogging fits in your daily life?

Blogging is a big part of my daily life. I am retired, so I have time on my hands. Writing posts for my blog allows me to exercise my brain, hone my creativity, and sharpen my sense of humor. And reading the blog posts of others enables me to expand my horizons and interact with bloggers from around the globe. Honestly, were it not for blogging, I’d probably be bored to death. Literally!

Have you ever tried to do:
a) Paragliding?
b) Horse riding?
c) Deep-sea diving?

No, yes, and no.

Do you celebrate your birthday?

Only once a year.

If you have free time at hand, would you go for a walk or a long drive?

A long walk. It’s healthier for me and better for the environment than going on a long drive.

Your best friend calls in the middle of the night and asks you to meet them at a deserted place. Will you go? BTW, this friend has known to pull pranks!

Not without a really good explanation — and a feasible one — for wanting me to meet him at a deserted place in the middle of the night. (By the way, I turn off my cell phone at night and we don’t have a landline, so it’s highly unlikely that I’d ever receive, much less respond to, such a call.)

I’m going to skip the last two rules and, instead, I invite anyone who reads this to answer the same questions that Sadje asked me.

Have fun!
