Im 43, marriedd with two kids, a girl 5-2/3 and a boy 2-2/3.

Currently and for the last 13 years, I have been the owner of a medical courier business. I pick up blood specimens (and other yucky stuff) at HMOs and Drs offices and bring them to the lab to be tested. I drive a couple mundred miles a day, every weekday, every week of the year. One of the 'bonuses' of being self employed is not having time off.

I spent a good portion of my life as a professional musician, starting in 1977 at age 17 when I joined a touring Las Vegas style show band playing all over the eastern half of the USA in big hotels wearing a tuxedo and doing synchronized dance steps. I then drifted around for a bunch of years, bouncing from coast to coast working in factories and gas stations and playing music here and there. I was there in the beginning of the Orange County Hardcore scene in '78, which gives me some pretty decent 'cred' with a really small group of people LOL!!

Anyways, I came back east and did a bunch of different driving jobs after spending 6 months employed as a...uhh....'companion' for a lovely 27 year old blonde executive woman who needed someone who could keep up with her at the bar and 'elsewhere'. Definitely good work if you can get it, but I digress.

IN the early 80s I stumbled into playing in the 'Pajama Slave Dancers', which dominated my life through the end of 88. We were almost famous and when we were working we made loads of money. (750$ for 45 minutes work? OK!!!). After i left that band I spent a lot of time laying around being drunk and eventually started the courier business I currently run.

there..more info than you needed , I guess.
