When I was little I either wanted to be a writer, a circus clown or a hot dog vendor.

My career in hot dog vending was inspired by a guy in my old neighborhood. He was the king of all hot dog vendors. The guy could make and package 10 hot dogs with all sorts of toppings in a split second. It was fascinating to watch. And not only was his name Frank, he also had a gold chain with a gold hot dog charm around his neck. Everyone knew of Frank and his masterful ways. He opened his cart in one location on one street and at no particular time or day. He could be there at any time of any day...you'd have to find him. Sometimes after school my mother would drive by the location and we'd be elated when he was there and dissapointed when he was not. The man was a legend. Sadly he died about 4 years ago of a heart attack. Too many hot dogs I suppose.

I'm not sure what I want to do when I grow up.
