Bob's Story
Life
I am married and live in upstate NY. I have 2 children, a 18 year old girl and a 11 year old boy. I moved out of the Bronx in 1981 and headed north until I wound up in Orange County, NY in 1999. My wife is from Ellenville originally. I met her online in 1996 and our son was born in 1997.
I am retired since 2002. My hobbies have never changed. I am still a huge car enthusiast, still own a Corvette and love music.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a sports car, chocolate milk, and a good sound system to be able to deal with the day-to-day stuff.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Valerie Hall, because she was my first love and I often wonder what became of her.
I have 2 cats and my wife owns the cutest Tea Cup Yorkie named Geena and a brand new Teacup Yorkie I bought my children, named Bam. We also now have an Amazon Grey, a gift for my wife for Xmas 2008.
My current age is 55. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be DEAD. I was so completely WRONG.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 25% of it to FAMILY AND FRIENDS, then spend the rest on CARS , HOMES and TRIPS.
I share my ho...Expand for more
me with my wife, two children, 2 cats, 1 bird, 2 dogs, which I find perfect.
In 10 years, I hope to be alive. I'm going to get there by eating right.
My first job was at Kress Cleaners, where I got paid $8 per week plus tips to deliver clothes. What I remember most about it was the filthiness of it and it was a dry cleaning store. I also remember spending much of my tip money on brownies from the bakery next door to the dry cleaners.
I always wanted to be a comedian when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea idea. As it turns out, they were right.
I blow off steam by either listening to my music or taking a ride in my Vette.
My children have taught me a lot about patience, understanding and how tough it is to be a parent.
I dress incredibly casual these days. Ten years ago I lived in $1,000 suits.
My oldest friend is Artie. We met while we were driving NYC yellow cabs and I was attending Queens College, He is like a brother to me and we both are huge sports and car fanatics.
I will never ever forget my days hanging out at The Wall on Pelham Parkway. I really grew up from that point and made tons of lifetime friends.
