I know some will say, the day I got married, enlisted in the army, had my children, graduated college and the like.  But none of these would have happened if you would not have learned to use the toilet propperly.  

" Oh you cured cancer,  Good job!"  " But if you're still making in you shorts, no one is gonna have lunch with you".

So  aside from the obvious, whats your crowning achievment?

No doubt about it:  finding my Wife and persuading her to marry me.  Boy, did I get that right.

Right up there is the fine people our children have become and always have been.

After that:  Getting two engineering degrees and the knowledge that goes with them...that knowledge is a superb life-long joy.

Defeating lots of young, strong, fast guys (I'm old and fat) in our local MS 150 bike to the beach.  Yeah, sure, 'its not a race'.

Having some really good friends.

Breaking into the six figure salary, or getting the degree that made that happen, or finding the great woman that supported me during the lean times and worked to help pay for MY schooling which got me that degree and six figure income, or was it scoring that bag of pot which gave me an excuse to talk to that girl (hey, want to smoke a J after school?) that led to our marriage, which led to ......

so it must scoring that bag of pot back in 1981 which led to all the good things that happened since then, and some of you think drugs are bad. [ (my progression of hippie to marine to king of my castle).

Well, I have no children and my career choice can be gratifying, it's not the end-all, be-all I thought it would be.

When I realized I was missing something in my life, and asked Jesus into it... Is that an accomplishment? If not ... I guess getting married and going to school were my biggest accomplishments.

supervised a River Blindness control project initial treatment program in central Africa and helped coordinate the treatment of over 60,000 people.   This included getting twice briefly  kidnapped by rebels who wanted to use my truck for transport.

there's nothing like having all sort of weapons pointed at you to include aks and rpgs, especially when you're unarmed and hundreds of miles away from other americans....

dvr9,  I showed the product drawings here a coupe of years ago and was hooted down. Also it is made in a China factory for me, again. However if I made it here it would have to be retailed for $40.00 and any money I made would be paid out to employees with metacarpel syndrome.
But thanks for asking.

I invented the discipline of IT chi. Simliar to Tai Chi only the moves are taken from IT workers. "Shrug" "Butt Scratch" "Armpit Scratch" "Cocked head" are just a few of the moves I created.

I came up with the substitute line "walk with an erection" for "walk like an Egyptian" well before the song came out.

I was thinking out of the box before there was a box.

My next invention involving ice cream will make me rich.
