Well, now that we're also dwelling in the past - and doing asides - I'll add that I have a BA from Southern Cal in Business Administration (done me no good), I'm an ordained minister (just married some friends of mine three weeks ago - 105 degrees in the shade at 1700 hrs!!!) Sambucus - when I was twenty, I worked in a gun store in Hollywood, sold Stalone a $1200 shotgun. He suffers from "Little Man Syndrome", he stands 5'6" wearing heels... and he does wear heels... Stephano - can you get me a good translation of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum? I lost the story about half-way through, don't know if it was the translator or Eco himself... Rochr - there was a similar thread quite a while ago where you also protested to be an alien. I'm thinking your either Michael Jackson or Bill Gates... so you may be right. Brendon - I REALLY want to become a consultant. Here, you usually take an early retirement package, the company finds out that no one knows what you know, so they hire you back at twice the wage... how do you avoid the wait? Digitalphotography - Physics? I thought UC Davis was Ag and Viticulture... Do you ever go to Sudwerks?
