Probably math, maybe science. I've also thought that financial literacy needs to be taught on high school so I've toyed with the idea of developing a curriculum for that too. I've not considered teaching overseas, but maybe it's something I should look into.

how come you keep quitting your jobs?


Because I can! Neener

Seriously, though, I've only had two jobs in the 20 years I've been out of school. I happened to meet this online community right after I quit my first job out of school. With my second job, I took a leave of absence when my mother got ill and then quit it this spring. So while Ive had three periods of voluntary unemployment since Ive met you folks, Ive really only had, and quit, 2 jobs in my adult life.

Will there be anymore Bosie parties now that the little one is there? We had such a great time there when Duo Scarbo debuted (sp)

I lived there from 90 to 95, mostly anyway (when I wasn't on an expat assignment).

I lived all over, printers row, gold coast, Lincoln park, and Evanston toward the end. That was in my early 20s so I moved every time my lease came up. In Evanston I purchased a condo, but then sold it in 96 after moving to NYC.

Thank you we enjoyed it immensely too.

I would like to have another one, but not until I start playing more myself. I've not played much at all since the little guy arrived.

Bet the little guy would love to hear you practice and play. IMHO it would be good for him

Would like to comment on the "did your life change after the baby was born" question.
From what I have observed and been told the change comes with the second child.
hmmm.... planning anything?

Well, we pulled the goalie long ago but we're getting a bit long in the tooth so I'd say our chances are much less than 50%. (And we're not going to do anything artificial.)
