Much gratitude to writer Rio Liang. Thanks to him, yours truly is honored and humbled by his nomination for The Versatile Blogger Award.
The Versatile Blogger website stipulates:

That’s common courtesy. Include a link to their blog. Select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site. Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
