"Time in a Bottle"

1) 10 years ago what did you think you would be doing now?

Let's see 1996, I had just started at CableShoppe, and I assumed I would be still working there. I had promised the owner a minumum of 5 years, but figured I could grow with the company, perhaps end up in a General Manager's position.

2) Where do you think you will be in 5 years from now?

Teaching Primary, preferrably 4, 5, or 6th grade. Finished with my Masters and considering further education.

3) Do you live life one day at a time or look to the future.

I have lived my life one day at a time for too many years, now I'm taking stock and looking to what's left of a future for a 44 yr old Man. Thats a min of 30 more years teaching and working, especially if I go onto a College level educational track.

4) Do you wish you could go back in time and undo something in your life?

Very much so. I would have listened to my family and gone into higher education by getting my Masters or PhD.

5) If you could send a message back in time and give a younger version of yourself some advice, what would it be?

GO TEACH. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
