Peter's Story
Ok, I'm not feeling very original tonight, so I'm going to go through the 10 "Story Ideas" and I'll try to come up with a response to as many as I can.
1. What about you would surprise everyone at your high school reunion? I think the people that I haven't seen since then, would be surprised that I'm actually making a living as a stage hypnotist, magician, variety performer.
2. Which teacher would you love to see again and why? Mr. Shuster to just thank him.
3. What's the wildest thing you ever did in school? There wasn't really anything, I was pretty quiet and awkward.
4. What happened to your first crush? My first one had a nice successful run as Wonder Woman on tv and then chalked up some other credits along the way. I assume my first school crush got married and had kids and leads a perfectly happy life having no idea that she was the object of my affection so many years ago.
5. How do you hope old friends remember you? I don't care how they remember me, but it would suck if I got there and not a soul even remembered I went to school at South.
6. To be truly happy, you would be where, doing what, with whom? Right where I am! I'm loving life. Sure my own show in Vegas would be great but even without that, I still have it pretty damn good. I have a great wife, great kids, great friends and a great and rewarding career..... who am I to get greedy?
7. Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect. ...Expand for more
What's been your biggest surprise? Take your pick! Being on an operating table in 2001 and being told I might not live to see the end of that day, my divorce, my performing career...... the list goes on.
8. Stupid question
9.What was your weirdest job you ever had
I was hired to be one of 50 Elvis impersonators at a memorial service for the man who convinced Groucho Marx to perform, after he pretty much retired.
10. Where have you lived? Why did you move?

NY, NY- tour finished moved in with girlfriend and her apartment mates
Brooklyn, NY- Girlfriend and I wanted to live alone.
Fanwood, NJ- wife and I wanted to raise kids in the suburbs
By the way, if you got through this, I owe you a drink. I'm bored to death with this story and it's my own f**king life. You can hit me up for the drink at the reunion.
