Joe Ruiz
I have tried numerous times to really launch my personal blog.  I say "really launch" because I have had a personal blog page; however, prior to this I have used it as a convenient site for providing chat posts and questions.

My friend Sherree @Sherree_W has been encouraging me (in the kindest sense of the word) to get start writing and sharing more of who I am [see item 26 below].  

This morning Margie Clayman issued a challenge, she asked and answered the questions below and then asked that we do the same.  So, I figured this was a way to start disclosing.

Dear Joe, when were you Born? I need the year as well, okay. And the reason I am asking is to see if there is any possibility you might be my father. I don't want anything... Just want to find my dad. Thanks.
