tagged

I've been tagged by DC Urban Dad, so I'm now obligated to participate in a little meme action. Luckily it's an easy one. The rules are:

1. Go to your documents
2. Go to your 6th file.
3. Go to your 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 friends to do the same.
   

Now, I did have to cheat a little because I'm doing this at work (during my lunch break) and the sixth file in My Documents contains my department budget and no pictures. I'm really not about to take a screen shot of a spreadsheet. That would be just boring. And you'll laugh at the numbers. So I skipped to the seventh file which was actually My Pictures. The sixth picture is this:

This is a picture I took of the Buddha statue at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco in 2003 (before kids) when HotMomma and I traveled there frequently during the hot summer months. The statue was presented to the garden in 1949, the S. & G. Gump Company in memory of A. Livingston Gump, Alfred Gump and William Gump. It is located at the eastern end of the Long Bridge. It was cast in bronze on Honshu Island at Tajima, Japan in 1790; it weighs 3,000 pounds and is ten feet, eight inches high. This particular figure is named Amazarashi-No-Hotoke, meaning "The Buddha that sits throughout the sunny and rainy weather without a shelter," which is right on considering its location in the park.


Now the fun part is picking six bloggers to tag. After careful thought (random choosing from by blog roll) here are the tagged (you're welcome):

Dan from Daddy Dan 
Ed from Zoe's Dad 
ZakaryW from Shindig 
Gini from Tao of Gini 
Shelly from Seriously, Shelly 
Rich from Untangling Fatherhood 

Have fun with it.
