I have to thank Paul Hillsdon for this tag

This is my first time participating in one of these tag games.

• Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
• Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
• Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.

1.  I am a mongrel: my background includes a variety of different nationalities and cultures
2.  As a result of 1, I always answer any question about my “race” as Human.
3.  After years of doubt I have finally decided I am an atheist. This realization has been liberating.
4.  I have type 2 diabetes
5.  and osteoporosis - no, it is NOT just a condition of post-menopausal women
6.  I have dual British and Canadian citizenship
7.  I have four children from two [failed] marriages
8.  I am seriously concerned that I am not going to find it easy to tag 8 more bloggers, and I apologize in advance to  those who will find this exercise pointless.

Paul wrote of his tags “3 teens, 2 urban design whizzes, 2 education whizzes, and 1 politico.”

I know I am not a teen or an education whizz - so now I wonder which of the remainder he puts me in.
