hey Kevin...this is going to be an interesting thread! i enjoy finding out personal stuff about the people on here...i started a thread awhile back about the origin of peoples screen names...lots of cool stuff came out of that, too.
i teach engineering labs at our university here...i'm an instructor, not a professor (i don't have a phd), although the students have coined a phrase...lab prof...that they like to apply. my life's work experience has been very wide and varied...been a cop, soldier, truck driver, firefighter (forest AND structural), ambulance attendant, field engineer, teacher, technician, dance instructor (studied classical ballet, jazz ballet, ballroom and western...taught western), interior designer (in Hollywood/Beverly Hills in the 70's), husband and father...some of these things i was/am really good at, some i'm still working on...i was basically abandoned by my parents and dropped off for my grandparents to raise..when my father did finally take responsibility for me, he and his new wife really abused me...i got really f***ed up...booze, drugs, sex were the most important things in my life for way too many years...so i'm still working on becoming a better father and husband...i like to think i'm making progress...my wife may or may not agree...
i too like watching movies on the big screen, so i have a 72" pull down screen and a video projector for movie nights at home...we live 50 km away from the city, so movie nights at the theatre is way too expensive...
i've got a pretty young wife who puts up with me (for the most part...one of her favourite pass times is dressing me down when i need it...or when SHE thinks i need it
), a beautiful 4 year old boy who is often my main reason for keepin' on and of course Beauty, without whom, etc etc...
who's next?
