August 25 Tagged, eh?So.... I've been tagged.
By Richard. Thanks a lot.
Here are 8 things about me:
1. I attended University of Texas, but graduated from Baylor in 19??.
2. I always said that I wanted to go to graduate school someplace where it snows. (I did. Strangely enough, Nashville, TN)
3. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 40 years.
4. I have thought I was overweight since I was 12 years old. Actually, I wish I weighed the same that I did in college. It is all relative. I wasn't fat then at all!
5. I have always had the wanderlust. It amazes me that I have lived in the same house for 25 years.
6. I have always been proud of my Texas background and often refer to it. (Such as..."It has been so hot in Kentucky that I sometimes think I have died and gone back to Texas."
7. My high school best friend have been close friends for 50 years!
8. I plan to live to at least 100. (My grandmother made it to 99 and 8 months.)
I'll have to figure out whom to tag at a later time. August 20 BeckhamDavid Beckham. Have any of you been watching this phenomenon?
Husband and I have been interested in soccer since our son was in kindergarten. Most little ones can run and kick, so that is where he started. We continued to be his fans throughout high school. It was great fun--at indoor facilities in the winter and outdoors in the spring and fall.
Now comes David Beckham. And he may just change the way Americans think about soccer. With his close cropped hair, he looks like the all-American guy. With his celebrity wife, he is living the all-American guy dream. When he is interviewed, he is humble and seems quite genuine. (He doesn't speak with the upper class accent a la Prince Charles. Instead he has the working class accent of the Gekko in the insurance ads.) In short, he is quite charming.
And he CAN play soccer! He hasn't scored yet, but he passes and makes a lot of difference on the field.
I'm glad I'll be able to watch a lot of his games on TV (the telly).
PS He plays the same position that our son always played--midfield.
