RE: Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm Jim. I just turned 45 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Although I enjoyed the submarine service (makes me odd), I left after 12 years of service in 2001 when my son was starting high school; no regrets. Despite my engineering and succeeding business management background I find myself being pulled in the direction of project management. My specialty is herding cats and I seem to derive a great deal of satisfaction from it. Before the era of self promotion via personal branding, this trait used to be known as leadership; alas.

My favorite hobby is spending time with my wife. It's not hard. She loves sports, is hot as hell, drinks beer, has broad musical tastes and detests bullshit (her version of Christianity is that the Bible is bullshit and Jesus is a righteous dude that will one day carry us all off to the perfect beach for all eternity).

I am called Grandpa by a five year old (I also have a 1 year old granddaughter and another grandson due next month). The only reason I settled for Grandpa was that the powers that be vetoed my idea of being called MoFo. The powers were of course more reasonable, but I still can't get over how cool it would have been to stand in a check-out line having a short person sincerely say "Hey MoFo, can I please have some candy?". Alas, like Led Zeppelin said, 'what is and what should never be'.

That said, this more summarizes my life:

Life has not always been, nor is it now or ever will be, a bed of roses. I don't suppress memories of bad times. I'm also not so naive to think that I've exhausted my quota of bad times. I simply decided never to brood about paths not taken or paths that are impossible (I can never be King of England). If you strip the supernatural and helplessness from the Serenity Prayer, I find it a very good guide to life.
