Tag, Your're it!!

I guess I have to answer this. I now realize what a dull life I have!!

Dad

Four jobs I’ve had:

1. My first job that I can remember was working for my brother, Jamie when I was in college. He had a weed business called Hoe No Mas and he would pay me to pull weeds that the chemicals didn't get. It was hot and horrible work as we would do the medians in the City of Tucson and people would honk and yell at us as we pulled the weeds.

2. I worked at Hughes Aircraft for a summer job during college after I was going to Arizona. Coach Larson had some connections. I was in the Test Engineering department and earned a whopping $600 per month. (Huge at that time in 1967) I was mostly a gofer for the engineers and worked in purchasing and small projects that the engineers would give me.

3. After I finished playing BB at Arizona and Margaret had a job, I worked in the computer center at the U of A. The person who ran that was a friend of my brother (John Moffat) and he was dating my sister Kathy's best friend. he gave me the job and mostly it was sitting there watching the computer run different programs. (The computer filled up the whole room in those days) I would run the grade reports and other various reports for various departments in the University. I was going to my 5th year of college to finish up my EE degree so I was able to study alot when a program was running. (a big sort or something like that)

4. I have had my current job, working for Westinghouse and ABB, basically the same type of work for 36 going on 37 years. Anyone want to buy a transformer?

Places I’ve Lived:

1. Lived in Coleta, IL for my first 6 years. It had a population of 200 people. Don't remember much about it.

2. Lived in Tucson (very hot) until Margaret and I moved with Westinghouse to Pittsburgh (age 22), Cinncinati, LA and finally Kansas City. Loved Kansas City for 2 years.

3. We then moved to Omaha for 5 years. First time I had experienced -60 degree chill factor.
(very cold)

4. Lived in Jefferson City, Mo for 11 years.
(Very humid and tornados alley)

5) Have lived in Littleton for going on 19 years. (Just right)

3. Movies I love: (not in order of preference)

1. Any Pink Panther movie.
2. Sound of Music
3. Frequency
4. Any Tom Hanks movie
5. The Sting
6. Most John Wayne movies (later ones for sure)


Favorite Foods:

1. MEAT!! (especially steak)
2. strawberry shortcake
3. Nice salad with blue cheese dressing
4. Bar-b-que pork steaks (umm, umm)

Four weird things about me:

1. I like to do crosswords and Suduko. (I'm the family champ on both)
2. I love to beat Goose, Kristin and Dana at anything!! It bums me out to lose to anyone of those three. It hurts.
3. I can't sleep well without a fan blowing on me and making some nice noise.
4. Don't like people reading over my shoulder.

Favorite Shows:

1. Lost
2. 24 but I think I'm about burnt out on 24. This year will be my last, I think since it is going to be hokey.....they have done away with CTU.....next they will say Cloie is gone!!
3. Any sports game. (Broncos, Nuggets, AVs, BYU football, Arizona BB etc.)
4. Seinfeld
5. Are you smarter than a 5th grader? (jk)

Places I’d rather be:

1. With my wife, all my children, their wives and all of my grandchildren.
2. Driving on a road trip with no schedule and no hurry.
3. Hawaii - Heaven on earth. I could probably be convinced other warm places might equal Hawaii. (i.e. Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia etc.)
4. With my wife somewhere where we can be alone and just be together. (doesn't happen that much any more)
