Semi-retired musician (we NEVER fully retire!). Was a professional vocal and choral accompanist both here and in Europe for about 20 years until I got tired of living out of a suitcase, then became an assistant choral director and accompanist at St. Francis High School here in Sacto, for quite a while. Retired last year, but still am active as a choral director and accompanist at my local Parish and a Catholic Retreat Center. Which means that I don't know what weekends are (hell, I never DID, LOL!).

My title has changed so many time over the past year I am not totally sure what I am anymore.

I work in the customer service group of a large Chemical Co.

My latest title is Key Account Specialist and Work process Coach. But, They can call me whatever they want as long as the money keeps coming in.

Currently grade 10, gifted class, and after school either locomotive engineer or theatre technician. Just had to drop Chem 20 so I could keep my theatre option open. Why would I want to be a physics prof. anyway?

Um, OK, how 'bout, for the money.
For the respect?

Maybe I should stop now... [:)]

In my case, it was easy- I never stopped asking "Why". Too bad I could never convey the same joy/enthusiasm to my students.

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

I own a 4x4 fabrication shop. One man band so iIdo it all.

I get a giggle now when I am at the counter with a customer and they eye a Model Railroader sticking out of my tool box behind me. I usually get some kinda comment. Surprisngly, it usually turns into a train swapping story with the cstomer telling me about "his trains when" when he was a kid
