Four people I'm tagging:
Um......nope, drawing a blank unfortunately

OK, I have probably overdone it a bit with the additions, so I'll stop now. I didn't think this would be as easy as it turned out to be. It would be nice to have more people to tag, but I'm afraid the social life is non-existant and the list of friends--let alone blogging friends--is woefully short. Thanks to Geo again for tagging me.
