Out of the Past
Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!
Well, well… I was tagged last week (sound of being tagged) by the honorable Mr. William Tully, esq., of LOGICal eMOTIONs. Seems he’s had an attack of the clevers lately, and started a new meme that, ironically enough, mirrors something I’ve been contemplating anyway – highlighting some of my favorite past posts.
Now, the name of this particular meme game is to pick the ten posts that, when read, will give your readers a good feel for what you and your blog are all about.
Sheesh, it’s going to require a superhuman effort to get my choices down to ten – I like so many of them. (Well, I guess I could always suggest you read my ebook for six other favorites that aren’t listed here.)
Otherwise, here are ten posts that should give you a fairly complete picture of what Middle Zone Musings is all about:
- For a glimpse of one of our many weird adventures while in Paris, check out A Full Moon Over the Seine River
- A surprise in the middle of a rush hour freeway taught me a few things in Life, Comin’ At Ya!
- My entry for Ben Yoskowitz’ What I Learned in 2006 sums up the most profound things I learned in, well, 2006
- Then there was the ProBlogger contest that ended up bringing in almost 900 entries; here’s mine: The Top 5 Things Strangest Things I Learned While Blogging
- Written as one of the preliminaries to my own first contest, this story In Praise of Attics Everywhere explains my love of science fiction
- A huge opportunity falls right out of the sky in We Want You!
- Sometimes putting people into categories can cause you to miss some very interesting things, or so I found out in Are You a Labeler?
- They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… but can the old dog teach me a thing or two? I’d say so in Learning Patience
- In one of the silliest, and life-changing experiences of my life, What I Learned From a Light Switch tells how I knew Mrs. MZM and I were right for each other.
- And finally, it’s the most difficult experiences that can have the most profound effects on our lives, in What I Learned From a Manlift
OK, I guess I’ll just tag a few friends here; so let’s see now… how about:
Your mission, Mr. or Ms. Phelps, should you choose to accept it, is to name your 10 favorite posts from YOUR blog. Here are the meme Rules:
- Please try to limit your list to 10 posts or less. (Take your time. Do some digging in your archives to find the perfect ones – it’s to your advantage more than anything else.
- A request: If possible, please link to Tully’s original post, and also link to the post that you were tagged in. Memes go on for quite a long time and when anyone trys to follow one backwards to see some of the other posts, it gets quite difficult when only the blog URL is used. (Once again: Just a request.)
- Tag 5 folks. The people you tag, please let them know by email, contact form or some other efficient method.
Y’all have fun!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Great Robert, another tag I have to think about and write for! (Wonder how I even get some work done
)
Just kidding, I’ll treat it as a ‘turtle’, alright?
Also small request, since I’ve three blogs, I will ‘distil and cook’ one list for all
As for your list, I like “Life, coming at you” best.

Thanks for the tag Robert… This sounds like fun and a stroll down memory lane.
I’ll get onto it…later this week. Sounds like I’d better include my “What I Leaned By Procrastinating” post.

Those surprises in rush hour freeways don’t even need cars wrapped around them Bob – when they decide to comp on a person. Hey – these reminders are the best way to ward them off or turn ‘em around. Thanks for the great post!
Karin, take your time to make it great – we’ll all profit from that! Distilling is a great idea, too.
Yvonne, no worries. Great things come to those who wait!
Thanks for the tag Robert. I have created my list of 10 posts. I am going to track this post to see the number of clicks my older posts receive
Ellen: glad you found it useful.
Rajaram: great idea!

Hey, Mike, no problemo, senor! Besides, it was worth waiting for!
