  • About Me

    My name is Steve Bogner, a 40-something husband and father of two boys in Cincinnati, OH. Extremism - whether conservative or liberal or whatever - is something I try to avoid. The world isn't perfect, the truth is usually in the middle, and things are rarely as simple as they seem.


  • About My Blog

    This is a moderate, Jesuit-flavored Catholic blog. I'll write about Catholicism, holiness and spirituality along with a bit of politics, social justice and Catholic mystics. I'm not an expert in any of these, but if you like reading about them, then this is a place to do that.

8 things

Tagged by Alan for 8 random things about me... so here goes:

  1. I've had about 75 stitches and 7 broken bones in my lifetime; my knee still has metal in it.
  2. I have an eclectic taste in music; from Allegri Miserere to The Clash to John Coltrane, The Dixie Chicks and Mocean Worker.
  3. I've been self-employed for about 11 years now and I have a hard time seeing myself work for anyone else ever again.
  4. I'm introverted and left-handed both, at the same time.
  5. I drive an SUV but offset the emissions; I know it's a carbon hog, but it runs fine and it's paid for.
  6. I like to cook, and I enjoy grocery shopping.
  7. I really don't like shopping for Christmas presents.
  8. I'm chairperson on the board of directors at a pro-life pregnancy counseling center; I've chaired parish councils and Habitat for Humanity coalitions.

Well that does it then. I don't spread tags around - but feel free to pick it up and run with it if you want!

Thanks Steve. Yeah, I don't usually do those things either but this morning I was feeling froggy I guess. Oh, and I actually enjoy grocery shopping too. This can be quite dangerous for a budget.

Steve,

Seven broken bones?? What happened? I sure hope that didn't happen all at once. :-)

I've been self-employed for about 11 years now and I have a hard time seeing myself work for anyone else ever again.

Good man, yourself! Wish I had the guts and the gumption to handle that.


Good question Jeff... I've broken two bones at once - femur and knee-cap (patella?). Ouchy, now that hurt. The rest were here & there from when I was 13 through 25 or so.

Self-employment works for me; the important thing is that every person finds the type of work that suites them best, that they can thrive within.

With all those broken bones and stitches, I was going to guess you played hockey :-)

Hi Crystal - No hockey... just clumsy, I guess :)

Cooking is good. I can enjoy shopping, but Manhattan supermarkets can be pretty claustrophobic.

Steve, if I don't touch base with you in the next day or so, here's wishing you and your family a blessed and happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Steve.
Margaret

Hi Steve, the Bogner Family and All People of Good Cheer.

Patrick

Merry Christmas, Steve!

Thanks all, for the Christmas wishes!
