After 9 years, I've finally remembered my account password. Almost wasn't able to open my profile here. I hope there are some old friends that are still active.
Life has been interesting, to be sure. Moved from LA to upstate NY, where I grew up. Have a new job as a transit bus operator. I left the restaurant industry about 5 years ago. Always said, if i'm not having fun, time to get out. I went and got my commercial drivers license and went to work towing heavy duty trucks, buses and RVs in California.
The family is doing well. Oldest graduated college this year and the youngest, high school. Middle Graduated high school last year. New chapters for them as well.
