More About Me

More about me:  JD2718

Jonathan at JD2718 tagged me with this new meme and I've taken long enough to respond to it. Of course, we have to start with the rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
   
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
   
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
   
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
