Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. Let me update you on how the last 27 years have gone. 27 years? Man it doesn't seem like that long! Well,I now live in a tiny town in Northeast Ohio. It's about a 6 hour drive to DC from here. The two rival high school football teams are the Massillon Tigers & the McKinley Bulldogs. Not funny to people around here but to me it is quite amusing since NBJ was the Tigers and I moved to Churchill in my senior year and that is the Bulldogs. I live in Tigertown USA! Footbal is the most important thing here is our town. We have a population of 30,000 but on the Mass./McK. game day, our town almost triples in population. You would be amazed at the high school stadium here. I was shocked! You can see for yourself on the website Massillon Tiger Stadium, Massillon, Ohio. The high school is called Washington High School and the stadium is Paul Brown Stadium (as in Paul Brown the founder of football as we know it...and some teams, The sucky Clev. Browns & Cinn. Bengals) I work as a bartender at night and for the professional football team here in Canton near the Football Hall of Fame. (like I said, it is a football world here) I am the dance team director, marketing & promotions asst., gameday asst. director, and the team mascot at all communities functions. I am currently on the cover of the local phonebook but no one knows it's me in the costume. My youngest daughter is with me so that is how people have recognized us. It has been a great job and I have had the opportunity to meet many Pro football players and attend many pro football functions here in the area. Hall of Fame week is crazy here but I love it!!!! This year I won't be doing the dance team because doing game day ops. takes too much time and I am tired of being at the dance studio or stadium every night until 11 pm-midnight and listening to 18-20 y.o. complaining about how bad their lives are. They're tired, they hate their boyfriends, their jobs suck, they hate school, etc. blah, blah, blah, hahaha! Ah, to be young again! If they only knew!!! Before living here, I was living in VA for about 5 years working for the USMC and before that I was at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, CA for 13 years with my now ex-husband. I have been living here for the last 6 years. I have 5 kids & two cats. Christopher turned 25 on 12/24/08 ,lives in SC, works for Shaw/Duke Po...Expand for more
