I was a computer tech it was a awesome career on the 80s-90s and still is but not as much fun as back when you actually did computer programming. I like to ask not to see who's is bigger but then I get topics we have in common to talk about. I ask doing taxes it's interesting to see what people did it can be surprising and is interesting.

Was you the guy that came to my door 5 times after second time I told you get off my property? A three tab Hunter?

So you had 30/70 job also. Unfortunately I was in 30% category.

I wanted to be a gigolo or a golf pro but was a bit short on the needed equipment.

My younger brother hung around with a male stripper back in the early 1980s and perhaps later. Johnny had asked me to give it a shot but I could not stop laughing.

Last I looked Johnny has a bunch of kids and is doing well and doing something else.

My younger brother worked at the Reno International Airpport in the car rental and did meet various celebrities. He seemed most impressed with how thoughtful Rutger Hauer was. But my brother was very concerned about all the rumors spreading about Bill Cosby.

My younger brother left Reno around 1990.

A good friend of mine was a "collector" at Suffolk Downs (Horse Racing Park), outside of Boston.

He used to complain all the time, about people asking him probing questions, when he told them what he did for a living.

It's surprising how many folks are interested in the ins & outs of collecting urine samples from thoroughbreds.

No, but a fairly frequent street racer, on Crosby Drive in Bedford, right next to the Mitre facillity.

... well, until one of the guys got killed, when a Mitre nerd pulled out of a parking lot, right into the middle of our drag racing strip.

I was a Stage, TV, Commercial and Film Actor in New York and Hollywood. I spent 55 years of that in Hollywood prior to moving to TV. You can Google me for the details.

You can always tell a new comer to the Villages. The first question they ask: " What did you do for a living? " I usually clue them in that is not the way you start off a conversation. You may ask: "Where are you from?" I was on a cruise once, and the two couples we shared a table with were well -dressed. I did not ask, but one guy stated he was a Surgeon, the other stated he was VP of a large well-known insurance co.

They asked: What do you do for a living? I told them I was in the sanitation business. They asked if I owned a large recycling company. I told them, no, I pick up garbage in NYC. I could feel my wife kick me under the table. They both apologized for their rudeness. DO NOT ASK WHAT SOMEONE DID OR DOES FOR A LIVING UNLESS THEY VOLUNTEER THE INFO.
