TAGGED by my Daughter

I got tagged by my daughter (Rebecca) and I think that this is what I am supposed to do, i.e., answer the same questions she answered.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was living in Riverton, UT enjoying 4 wheeling at Moab during the summer and skiing during the winter. Began a medical treatment that helped me appreciate what was really important in life.

2. What was I doing 5 years ago?

I had just returned from living for the past three years in Tokyo, Japan and was in the process of buying a house in the Dallas area. Little did I realize that in a little over a year I would be relocating again to South Georgia. Very stressful time as I was uncertain as to how my job with the Japanese company would go though I knew inside that the end of that relationship was near. With that said it marked the end of a great adventure living in Tokyo with many wonderful experiences and friends for a lifetime. All and all, not what I expected, but nevertheless a great experience that I am glad I had. No regrets.

3. What was I doing a year ago?

Getting well entrenched in my new position as Director of Operations, and adjusting to Mom's school schedule at Valdosta State University. Staying busy between this job and periodic trips to Mexico and Japan for consulting work. Staying busy but enjoying life.

4. What was I doing yesterday?

Gave a deposition in a case involving a employee who got his arms caught in some industrial equipment resulting in a traumatic amputation of both arms. Very sad. He also tested positive for cocaine in his post-accident drug screen and as such may lose all of his workman's comp benefits. While his cocaine use may have had nothing to do with his accident, it still may have devastating consequences that he never anticipated. You can make choices, but you can't control the consequences. Went to the movies after work (D-Wars - mindless entertainment).

5 places I would rather be:

SCUBA diving anywhere.

Any tropical island laying on the beach

On a sailboat headed anywhere

Skiing in New Zealand

Playing golf in Hawaii

5 snacks that I love:

Smoked oysters sandwich with cheese and onions

Hot buttered popcorn

Anything with goma (sesame seed) dressing on it.

Chocolate covered strawberry Blizzard from DQ

Cadberry Eggs at Easter

What would I do with 100 million dollars...

Quit my job

Buy a brand new Porsche 911 Turbocarrerra Cabriolette

But a 47 yawl (sailboat) and sail the Carribean
