Um, let's see: 10 years ago, I was starting my first full-time job as an ESL instructor, full of confidence and optimism. Boy! was I wrong. Age: Since I'm 60 now, I MUST have been 50 then, but I don't remember being that old.
5 years ago: I rashly quit my job in Massachusetts to move to Ames, where my daughter (NimitzLady) had just given birth to my grandson, JBP. Age: 55
1 year ago: I finally accepted the reality that I will never again have a full-time job. No sweat; I get to hug JBP every day. Age: 59
Yesterday: I went to church in the morning; in the afternoon I got my week's worth of sleep. I have to do that because I don't sleep much at night during the work week, and my work week, with teaching and freelance writing, is 6 days long.
5 songs I know all the words to: I'd be hard-pressed to come up with one.
5 things I'd do with $100 million: pay off all family debts; buy a house for my sister; buy Saturn hybrids for several people, including myself; set up some scholarships in my parents' names; set up an office for my sister and me to do our freelance work full time.
5 places I'd run away to: cool places, and I mean cool as in low temperature -- Norway, Labrador, Switzerland, Great Britain, northern Germany.
5 things I'd never wear: two-piece or French-cut bathing suit (even if I lost weight), high heels, round or square neckline, wide-leg pants, any body-piercing jewelry.
5 biggest joys: JBP, my family, writing, cool weather, gardening
5 favorite toys: my camera, the Internet, the word processor, the plug to disconnect the phone, my recliner
