    A get together should be a goal, that would be great.

    Plus I do discuss the girls alot, personally.
    It wouldn't be fair to them if they could be identified by my chronic posting.
    Oh the horror!

    Pud says: after college and "graduation school", I want to be a daddy who stays at home with the kids. Okay, so maybe we'll just skip the higher education part ($$$) and let him be a mechanic until he's a daddy (like when he's 35!). He also asked me if his wife would let him stay home and would I ask her when I picked her out for him?

    As a child, I wanted to be a historian, President of US, or a rocket scientist. Ended up a software engineer because I finally had to just choose a major and get out of school and earn a living. I'd still like to be a historian - it's fascinating. But, hard to make a living at it without a PhD.

    This will probably sound boring... it's a light gray with the most subtle hint of blue. I like the contrast of metal, wood and glass. I'd describe my home as rustic contemporary. (e.g., The centerpiece on my dining room table is a creamy low bottomed glass bowl filled with moss - in the center is a bird's nest filled with greenish rocks.) There is very little clutter or things in my home. Since I was a kid, I've made my living area sparse to help clear out the mental clutter. I probably sound nutty.

    Thanks, Ann, he comes up with some pretty funny things sometimes. I might have to get the wife part down in writing to show him when he's 18.
