Think Tank Award (tagged by Phil)

Saturday morning’s losing hockey games were topped off with a award for mom! What’s that you say? Was I awarded most geeky hockey player mom? Best hair? Stinkiest hockey bags? Certainly I was in the running for any of those … especially stinkiest equipment bag. Peee yew!!

No, I arrived home to an e-mail from Phil Wyman at Square No More (aka, Phil The Why-Man), informing me that I have been awarded a Thinking Blogger Award!! Well. Check. That’s one evil plot I’ve fulfilled. Hehehehe … j/k. On a serious note, I am honored and more than a little stunned. It would seem that I am becoming more and more like my father (as the LightChildren say, “That’s what Grampy does, he thinks.”). So, thank you, Phil. I do appreciate the compliment and encouragement more than you know.

Now it is my turn to pass it forward as they say and award 5 more bloggers who make me think. So here are my Five Amazing Muses:

• Igneous Quill – Adam Gonnerman
• More than Stone – Jamie Stone
• One for the Road – Paul Mayers
• Present Matters – Patrick Oden
• Swinging from the Vine – Makeesha Fisher

Your mission (if you are one of the tagged), should you choose to accept it, is to pay it forward as well … the rules are simple and they are three:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is the gold version and the silver).
Oh … and enjoy the new blogs you get to read
