Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Quite a list of jobs. It's amazing how many you can have before finding the one that "works out".
Do you have any big running goals?
yeah, a lot of jobs. Most were during college and the first 3 years after graduating. 18 of the last 20 years have been in two jobs. 8 years as a car salesman and 10 years as a Realtor.
I'm currently deciding on my next half marathon and eventually a full.
pat
piano player in a cathouse.... There's a Toby Keith song called the critic that has that line in it....lol
That was a fun post Pat!
Pat -- Mike got me first, but thanks for the double team!
I LOVED Mr. Softee -- haven't seen one of those trucks in forever.
Seven countries, huh, let's see US, Canada and Mexico are the easy ones. Assume from the picture that you've been to France. How about England, Germany and maybe a vacation in the Bahamas.
I can usually hear the Mr. Softee truck before the kids and I turn the TV up real loud until it passes by.
