Tiffany tagged me with this , and I found it somewhat intriguing. The challenge is to write your own memoir in six words.
This is difficult for me, since I can’t decide if I should write the memoir that represents what I really am, or how I would like to be remembered. I’ve been thinking about this for several days now, and I still can’t fully make up my mind.
What Personality Profiles Say I Am
I’ve take the Myers-Briggs personality test several times, and I’ve always been assessed as an ENFP, the so-called “Champion Idealist.” What is this?
In the world of Myers-Briggs personality typing, an ENFP is:
E xtroverted
i N tuitive
F eeling
P erceiving
Are such tests and analysis perfect? I don’t know about the other types, but if you read the description found here , here , and here , and then go and describe that person to one of my friends, they would most likely call out my name as a prime example of the EN...

I am a member of a people group known as Not a Morning Person ™. I do not think clearly when I first wake up. I know this is not a phenomenon that is unique to me.

That slowly fades… away
I’m a big fan of mementos and souvenirs, but not so much in the traditional sense. Yes, I buy t-shirts and hats when I v...

What is it that brings you here? A search engine? Some well-intentioned friend suggested that you read some parenting advice? Does having two sons (one born in ‘88 and the other born in ‘91) make me an expert? If you judge a tree by its fruit, is my tree one that is worth pruning a branch from for your own parenting adventure?
Since you’re still reading, I’ll assume that, for whatever reason, you believe that I have something worthwhile to say ...
