Attending and completing the "Office Procedures" class at the Walker Career Center all four years of High School (Training for being the Executive Assistant I've been for the past 12 years, with an Administrative Assistant career spanning now 20 years across corporate America (Eli Lilly, I.B.M. and others).

Tech (Lifelong Geek/Nerd). ... (Whadayaknow, the bullies in high school were right!).

Finding my wife after 40+ years of life (and my two step-sons).

Steady employment.

How much growing up could suck (though it has major bright spots too!).

Don't recall his name, but taught History and was from Latvia originally. Only one of my teachers who didn't do 'rote learning'. Learned more than just the study material from him, and for that I'm grateful.

In recent years, most definitely my wife. Before then, probably my mother.

Nothing. (I was bullied 'constantly' all four years of high school, for being 'smart'). I skipped the yearbook and graduation and the prom because of the relentless bullying.

Paying attention to what the universe was telling me when i met my then-to-be-wife back in 2010 on Facebook. ('Yes', we met on Facebook ... how geeky is that!).

Retire? What's that??? I don't see it ever happening for our generation, but if it were to become possible, simply retiring to a quiet spot somewhere in either California or Florida and 'disappearing from the worlds' radar' as much as possible.

Disneyworld, Florida with the whole family.

Breathe.

Raising my two step-sons (both have special issues that can make them a challenge).

He was a good guy.

Be best friends, as well as partners.

Don't kill them. ... In seriousness, love them no matter what (you can want to kill them at the same time though, it's allowed).
