Leap of Dave

2025 A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal

Sponsored By No-One

No-One is a proud sponsor of the Leap of Dave 2025 A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal. No one has practically been reading this blog for many years and was glad to answer the call when I asked no one to sponsor it. Now back to the theme reveal.

The Theme for my 2025 A to Z challenge is The ABC's of Me.

I had many different ideas for the challenge theme this year and I chose this one because at the beginning of the year I placed an alphabetical list of things that described me on my home page.

As of March 7th 2025 this list reads as follows:

Amateur Parodist,

Blogger,

Christian,

Daring do-gooder,

Evangelical sans Trump Kool-Aid,

Father of 3 adult children,

Giraffe lover,

Husband of one amazing wife,

Illinois resident,

Jester,

Kindred spirit,

Library lover

Middle School teacher

Nincompoop

Original Poet

Quintessential worker

RITA (Republican in theory, anyways.)

Sixty something

Teller of jokes

U of I Parent - ILL

Voracious reader,

Willy Wonka Wannabe,

Xenophile

Yankovic enthusiast

Zoo attender

Each day of the challenge I will write a post about the alphabetical aspect of me that matches that day's letter. It is very possible that I may change some of the topics before the challenge. If I do that, they will also be changed on my blog's sidebar. As I am not a fan of revisionist history, I will not change them on this post.

This is now usually the time in a Theme Reveal where the blogger lists his previous A to Z Challenge theme's. So let's get to it shall we. The first time I participated in the A to Z Challenge was 2012 it was here at this blog back when it was still called Home School Dad. and it was the only year I had no theme. In 2015 I returned to the Challenge and actually participated in the challenge on2 of my blogs. The complete list is below.

Here is a quote from the movie that inspired the title of my theme.
