re, I need to have laughter, flexibility, and tolerance to be able to deal with the day-to-day. I've lived in California my whole life. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Harold Spence, because he made a huge impression on me. I follow the A's, the 49ers but I don't have any pets. I wish I had a dog. Oh and Big Brother is my favorite reality show. There are too many "biggest surprises" that I could name. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the living room and add on a family room and deck. My dream home would be in Santa Clara. What I've learned from my kids is that they are like dogs, they love you no matter what you do (LOL!) The teacher I would love to see again is Mr. Parker (my 6th grade teacher). He was so much fun, oh and I had a history teacher that was great but I can't remember his name. If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to my favorite charities, then spend the rest on family, friends and strangers. To be truly happy, I would be working with children, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders here in the Bay Area. My current age is 66. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be almost dead. I was so completely naive. My career aspiration is to retire! I share my home with my son and grandson, which I find tiring. If I had one do-over, I would have gone to college right after high school.
