What do you think about the teachers we had at PHS?

Hmmmmm . . . . .

Are you one of the only people you know who was taught to drive with two feet, one for the brake and one for the gas?

What did you do the week that school was cancelled because of the "Blizzard of '79?"

Started a snow shovelling business.

What were you doing at age 25? How about now?

At 25, I was laid-off from my 1st full-time job. Still living at home. Got back on my feet and continued "doin' time" at work wondering if I'll ever make decent money and/or get a date. :(

Married 1990. Divorced 2007. Went into counseling to uncover what my underlying problems were. The best investment I'll ever make of any kind.

I'm a possessed cyclist (racer). I've always taken care of my body and am only 3 lbs heavier than college. Working harder at it now (including weights) to stay healthy and active and able and motivated.

School Story:

I flunked Constitution class the summer before junior year so I had to retake it with a teacher from Arlington (commuted to PHS in the PM). We had an assignment and I didn't complete it but was on the LH side of the class so he went up and down each row starting from the door. When he got to Marty Herring who didn't have the assignment done, Marty asked "what will be the effect of not having this assignment done?" Without missing a beat, the teacher said "you won't be able to get a job." (deadpan/nonchalant delivery).

I admired (from afar) many people who had traits or abilities I didn't have. Marc Roseman, Bob Bauer, and Melody Mojzis come to mind...

Laura Kolomiec had a huge (read: massive) influence on the type of woman (personality) I find attractive.

Do you facebook?

Yes

Comments:

Making sure I invest in my time rather than chase the almighty dollar. I've been doing that since 25 and haven't looked back.

Trying to figure out life and myself and finally having success.

Jake's or Giordano's?
