Tag, I'm It

I've been tagged by the Texican, and the challenge is as so: create a six word memoir. To quote from Texican's blog, "This game was appartently invented by Ernest Hemingway while drinking with a friend in some remote Island bar. Hemingway bet $10 he could sum up his life in six words. Here is his summary; For Sale: Baby Shoes; never worn. I liked Beth's better. I hope no one paid him the ten dollars. Here's my entry: The road's been long but doable." And here are the rules of the Tag: 1. Write your own six word memoir. 2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you'd like. 3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post (The Texican) and to this original post http://bookbabie.wordpress.com/ , so we can track it as it moves across the blogosphere. 4. Tag five more blogs with links. 5. And, don't forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play. So, how to write a memoir in six words? Well, when I started to think about it, I could have done it in two. But that wasn't the challenge. Six words weren't easy, and I don't think I've come up with the best of it, but here it is: "Wanted better, survived worse, this'll do." Do I get 10 bucks from Hemingway now? And thanks to Texican for the tag - it was a fun challenge to think about. I don't know who else to tag, but if you read this and want to try it, have a go at it and leave me a note in the comments and I'll post a link to you. Oh, and it said to post a pic to illustrate, but Blogger is being less than co-operative. Oh, and for the record, my two word memoir would be "Cowboy Up."
