One of my favorite blogging friends is Lene. No, let's just correct that. She has moved out of the "I sure wish I could meet this person group" to "Must get together with Lene while in Toronto". We've met a few times over lunch/coffee and I enjoy every minute of our visits.
What has she got to answer for? Well, not for making me think of life/living from a very different viewpoint than mine...that's definitely a highlight.
Not for living a bit too far away to visit regularly...I could easily just suck it up and drive to TO for a day-trip.
She tagged me on a book challenge. I know, it was way back in June. To be fair, I really didn't forget about it, but as time went by, a bit of guilt set in. Eventually, I went back and scanned through all of Lene's posts until I found it:
Pick up the nearest book.
Open on page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.
Since, at the time, George Carlin had recently passed away, I thought that using his book would be a great choice. Still is. Braindroppings, by George Carlin.
Page 123: For instance, imagine the crap we'll have to endure on TV when Bob Hope dies. First of all, they'll show clips from all his old road movies with Bing Crosby, and you can bet that some news anchor asshole will turn to the pile of clothing next to him and say, "Well, Tami, I imagine Bob's on the Road to Heaven now."
Kind of spooky, isn't it?
As far as tagging, I'll tag Mom (who doesn't really have to tag anyone, just have fun with it), Deb, Jane, Linda G. and Denise.
OK, guilt-trip over...yippee!
Oh, and another thing that I'm blaming on you...the compulsion to check LOLcats and dogs every. single. day.

Great paragraph! And yes, spookily on target.
Sorry 'bout the lolcat thing. Well, not really. ;) Have you peeked at the lolnews and politics?
(OK, now I should probably be sorry)
