3. Two boys in college...
   1. saving up for retirement, never enough money for desires...

11. Wrong side of 59 (sniff)
12. 30 years USNR, Submariner,
13. Built several computers, saw the earliest breeds, programed in 12-14 dialects and languages at one time. Now have trouble with wiki-markup and HTML more often than the ole ego likes. (sigh)
