I was born in Brooklyn, NY, on December 22, 1947. It was during the Great Blizzard of '47.
I wouldn't say it was hard to get me home from the hospital, but the first words I remember hearing were "Mush! Mush!!"
I finished last in my class in high school, which my many girlfriends (okay, one!) appreciated at the time. I have been a HS English teacher in Miami (i.e.--a foreign language teacher) Social Worker, VD I Epidemiologist. I have three children (one of each!) from a previous mistake.
My last position held is personal, but I was, in addition, a reporter and writer for a small North Florida newspaper in Keystone Heights-yes, I covered the Keystone Kops---before I fell victim to to the economy.
I now divide my time between anxiety attacks, bouts of depression, getting on my wife's nerves, collecting coins, stamps, losing Lotto tickets, unemployment and dust.
However, I do have one of those "work at home computer jobs", sending e-mails trying to scam money out of Nigerians.
I do expect to get a good job this winter, as I was told that it'll be a cold day when I find employment again.
