Four Things

Okay -- I got tagged by Hannabanana and by Byron and I thought this was a pretty good one... so, here goes...

1. Janitor at the grade school I attended.
2. Synthetic organic chemist (polymer chemist trying to make --- um --- synthetic blood additives, yeah I'll just stop now...)
3. Car-buying associate for car leasing outfit (Weird job, I’d buy cars over the phone from lots all over the country and then lease them to people that wanted them – weird.  Definitely pre-internet.)
4. Lumber yard worker and forklift operator

4. Two eggs, over-easy with corned beef hash, sourdough toast and black coffee (scrapple when back in NJ-PA)
 
Four places I would rather be right now

1. Rancho La Puerta
2. Skiing in the Rockies, or the Sierras I suppose
3. Sequoia National Park
4. International Space Station

Okay --- off to watch Heroes!  (No explicit tagging, but I encourage the guy that hasn't shaved in months, the gal that just got her hair cut, and my friends currently living in the Southern Hemisphere to participate)
