ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have made it through that ill fated dive...
Wow, a guy who likes football, ballet and musicals!
ReplyDeleteParamedic, teacher, PI - what a eclectic list.
I think you're here because you aren't done yet. Might be a cliche but I think it's true.
Stand-up comedian with your sense of humor - could be a place to start. :)
