Life Through the Windshield

The life of a trucker

Title: Truck Driver/Lease Operator

Bio: Where do you start with something like this. I'm your typical white male. I'm married, for the third time. I have 9 kids and 4 grandchildren. Currently I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been doing it for the past year and a half, but I've had several careers. This one is just the latest. In the past I've tried selling cars. That didn't last long. I should say it didn't take me very long to figure out that I'm to honest to sell cars. I've spent lots of years in the restaurant business. Most of that was in the pizza business either as a manager for other or for myself. I also spent 8 years in the Air Force working in ER's and flying Aeromedical Evacuation. I have to say, the biggest mistake I've ever made was getting out. Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'll tell you.

The Senior Prom. Will any of us forget those magic moments in the sweaty gym? The thoughts of how you could "get lucky" afterwards?

Okay, who would like to forget the powder blue tux and the sideburns other than me? Please tell me I'm not alone.

I look at that picture and I see what TODAY would be a pretty young woman. Then I look at me and I wonder how the hell my mother ever let me leave the house, at all, looking like that.

I'm sorry, I just can't believe I ever looked like that.

I have so many kids you could be one of them, and if you are in the twin cities Sunday night we could discuss it over dinner.

I can fully imagine how nice those memories must be.

Sweet? Maybe.

I just remember how scared I was of you ladies back then. I do have a lot of fond memories though. Not only did we date but I worked for her parents after school and on the weekends. Her mother was like a 2nd mother to me.

What a lovely prom dress! The prom dresses sure look a lot different now-a-days! Most girls don't have the courage to pull off a patterned dress like that now, but that looks wonderful!
