I guess I'll play...

When I become a billionaire


OK, I'll do this thing.

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I had just quit my career working at a package store in Vernon, CT two years prior and took a job working for my friend Dean. We were doing some wiring in the G-Fox building in Hartford for TCI Cable. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a great bunch of jobs in the Telecom field. I was not with Allison yet, and having kids was not even a thought. I can't imagine life now without my great wife and beautiful son.

2.) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):

Take another shower so I can get ready and meet some friends down at the Nugget.
Eat some leftover Costco pizza for dinner (since it rocks)
Finish this post so everyone will stop asking me when I am going to post again.
I am considering helping my wife with laundry before I leave, but no promises.
Give my son plenty of kisses before he goes to bed.

3) Snacks I enjoy:

Double Stuf Oreos
Otter Pops
Drumsticks

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Pay off all of our debt immediately, no doubt.
Buy a modest home in Vermont on plenty of land.
Make plans to visit all of my family whenever we wanted to.
Buy James a full size real steam engine with a working Choo Choo whistle!

5) Places I have lived:

Ashford, CT
Ellington, CT
Manchester, CT
Vernon, CT
Suffield, CT
Enfield, CT
Henderson, NV
North Las Vegas, NV

6.) Jobs I have had: McDonalds, Burger King, Savings Bank of Manchester, Vernon Circle Package Store, The Scarlet Begonia, Team Telecom, TAD Telecom, Reliance Com Tec, Reltec, Marconi, Emerson Network Power, Cox Communications.

7.) 6 peeps I wanna know more about:


I think everyone who has a blog has already been asked, oh well.

And ditto, nice license plate...

Chris said...

otter pops are frozen sugar water, red, purple, orange pink, green, and blue. I think there is another brand thats the same called flavorice. they are so good.

Kim said...

Ahhh...Fla-vor-ice...now you're speaking my language.

Chris, you still around?
I'm Keith Smith and looking for someone who can tell me how to contact the successor of Reliance Com/Tec - I have some retirement money due and would really hate to have it just sitting there. Please contact me goatfarm at charter.net .

Thanks.
