I graduated high school in 1988.
I've always had tropical fish.
-Ran my own aquarium maintenance business for several years.
-Had my own magic act (amateur magician).
-Was a late night DJ.
-Was a late night control board operator for WFXS FOX 55 in Wausau, WI.
My first computer was the TI 99/4A with 16 KILObytes of memory.
I have won first places in ballroom rumba, hustle, and salsa formation.
I got married (for the first time) om 2004 at age 34.
6. When I was in eight grade, me (apprentice delinquent) and two other 'yodas' of delinquency, climbed up on the roof of a "community church' during a ladies choir practice. Our plan was to slide down the roof banging our feet and hands on our way down, then jump onto a flat walkway roof connecting the church building with an outbuilding, to make our clever escape.
I was the third one down the fairly long, sloped, roof and I was on the walkway roof just as one (spunky) lady busted out the side door and gave chase. I avoided capture but suffered a pretty bad neck injury when my flight (in the dark) ended up meeting a fence that flipped me over into a ditch.
I always thought (even without the Holy Ghost) my injury was at least in part due to the fact that God wasn't amused.
ouch.

Well, I certainly find it interesting that you can't find your way back from the bathroom in a restaurant, but you can easily handle Manhattan!!!
