Wow! I was honored to find out that I was given The Very Inspiring Blogger Award by my colleague and fellow blogger LaDona. Thank you ma’am. It is truly heart warming to know that my efforts are appreciated and recognized. There are several rules that come along with this award. Put the award image up on the blog, list 10 bloggers who have inspired you and notify them, give at least 7 fun facts about yourself. But, we don’t need no stinkin’ rules! So, I will do this my own way (as usual).

Since I already have links up on PA to more than 10 amazing fellow bloggers, I don’t see any reason to duplicate them in the text of this post. Please check out all the links by category in the sidebar to your left. I would truly like to thank a few people who helped me get started when I took PA live several years ago and to whom I am forever grateful: Mike McKisson of TucsonVelo, Getchen Saatoff of Gretchen’s Pianos, Chris Foley of The Collaborative Piano Blog, and Harold Gray of Speaking of Pianists. Thanks guys, for showing me the ropes and keeping me mostly out of trouble. You are my Very Inspiring Bloggers.

Facts about myself that you probably don’t know. Hmmm…

  1. Contrary to popular belief, I do not spend all my time on the internet.
  2. I love to garden and have a collection of Night Blooming Cereus.
  3. I live in an all solar house in downtown Tucson.
  4. I love to ride my bikes: an Electra Townie and a Specialized Vita.
  5. Misty Mae Treanor taped her internal oblique in the Gold Medal match. The reason I know this involves a 12 inch long incision (complete with some very impressive staples) which is causing me to write this post from the couch while dishes, vacuuming, my fall schedule, and more blogging pile up.
  6. I love Project Runway.
  7. I make a mean blue cheese turkey burger with sriracha mayo.
  8. I’d say, “never been indicted”, but Calvin Trillin already took that one.
  9. My favorite get away spot is Oceanside Ca.
  10. We once got the Prius stuck in a gigantic mudslide in Payson Az. In our defense, the tow truck driver said he had never seen anything like it in on that road in 27 years.
  11. My absolute favorite time of day is dusk and listening to our resident mockingbird sing in the stars.
  12. My favorite color is not clear.

Thanks to everybody for reading and supporting Piano Addict!
