Rod's Story
My favorite number: 27 (since 1970)
My current age is 49. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old. I was so completely right.
My first job was at McDonalds. I lied about my age and started just after I turned 15. I got paid $1.95 / hr. to sweep, mop and clean on the Maintenence shift. That was from closing at 11:00 PM Friday and Saturday nights, till 7:00 AM the next morning. What I remember most about it is that I loved being there by myself. There was no managers breathing down my neck. I could crank up the stereo and rock out till the morning shift came in at 6 AM.

Life
My Pets
I think this is a really stupid question, but here go's....
My cat, KILLER (or SHITHEAD as he is usually called) is the coolest most affectionate cat I've ever seen. My birds are Cockatiels, and they all have a personality of their own.
My Kids
I didn't know it at the time but I had a daughter born the same year that I graduated. It took twenty years to find that out, and I'm really glad that I did. And I now have a son that is ten. (update: that was in 2001, He's 16 now (2007) and driving)
Oct. 5th, 2012 update
. I just "celebrated" (I use the term loosely) my birthday last month. I was taken to dinner at the Cotati Yacht Club by my now 21 (going on 22) year old son. Time sure flies. I'm talking warp speed. It seems that as you loose your mind (memories) time speeds up faster and faster. I think that that must be due to there being less and less memories in that ever increasing span of time we call our lifetime. Think about it, if you only had three events in your memory since high school wouldn't it seem like time just flew by? Like it was 4 days ago, instead of 35 years. I look in t...Expand for more
he mirror and I don't recognize myself. Who is that old fart staring at me? Don't get me wrong, there is an "up-side" to losing your mind, everything is a new adventure, again.
April 2003 update,
Well all is the same except as of July 27, 2002, I'm married (happily) and I have a different cat, Mischief, that's even cooler.
OCT 2003 update, I'm still verrrry hapily married. Oh, and we're getting over-run with cats (4 now).
OCT 2007 update, I'm still verrrry hapily married.
And down to three cats.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is K. P., because I had a crush on her for many years (3rd through 8th grade) and was so shy that I never told her how I felt, that I loved her. I don't really think it was shyness that kept me from talking to her, it was more knowing that I would die if I tried to talk to her and she said "go away boy". This is one of those "what if's" that I have thought about countless times over the years, wondering what my life would have been like, how it would be different had I been able to tell her she was my world, all I could think about, not just the waking moments but in my dreams too. I guess it was safer to say nothing and be able to keep the dreams forever, than risk possibly being rejected and loose them both. Though she never knew it, the memory of her smile has helped me through many tough times over the years. Thank you K.P. As it turns out, I made the right decision in keeping quiet. I have recently found out that she married her high school sweetheart whom she is still with and has a wonderful family. It makes me very happy to know this, doubley so because i know that my decision eliminated the possibility of her sharing the misery that has been my life. What better gift could one give to a goddess.
