I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by a fantastic blogger Cheryl!

This means a great deal to me, as I am really very green at this and it serves as validation and will motivate me to keep plugging away.  Besides being a great place to read the writings of others, what I have been most excited to see is the really accepting community that I now belong to and I thank you all for being a part of that, especially you Cheryl!

The Versatile Blogger Award rules!

  1. Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
  2. Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.

  4. Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link back to the post on your site announcing their nomination.

The Chosen One

Seven things about me:

1.  I have recently become a father, almost 5 months ago, at the age of 42, with the help of fertility.

2.  I am an amateur blues harmonica player.

3.  I once, a long time ago, won $25,000 at the casino for getting a Royal Flush at a Let It Ride table.

4. I am a Texas Hold ‘Em enthusiast (you’re now concerned about me having a gambling addiction).

5.  I wrote a treatment for a reality TV show and, it seemed, was an email away from meeting with MTV about it…so said the agent who later dropped me.  So close…

6.  I am happily married to a wonderful woman who not only gave me my beautiful son, but also had a wonderful son of her own that I cherish.

7.  When I was in 7th grade I bought a Ghost Busters’ jumpsuit and wore it to school…repeatedly.  In other words…I’m a geek.

8.  (BONUS)  I was named after Erich Fromm, after my mother and father read his book, “The Art of Love.”

Thanks

Erich

  8. Congratulations on your nomination. I have had my current blog for nearly a year and still consider myself green most of the time.

    I am also a bit of a geek too and love Ghostbusters even to this day.

  13. Congrats on your nomination. It’s great that you like the blues. I just saw Charlie Musselwhite last weekend at my home town – Silver City – blues festival. I never realized before how energetic blues can be.

    • Thank you! Yes…I’ve liked blues for a while and I bet that Charlie Musselwhite concert was pretty good. 🙂
      I listen to a lot of the real old folk type blues. My favorite, as I am a harmonica enthusiast, is Sonny Boy Williamson.
      Thanks for stopping by 😀
