Your dream job
If you had your pick of any job in the world, what would it be?

I have a funny but true story about why I'd like to be a "peat farmer". My brother used to work in a lumber yard and I stopped to visit him one day. This guy drives up in an old pickup, steps out wearing coveralls. My brother points him out and says, "you won't believe it, but that guys one of the richest guys in Washington". (this was pre-bill gates). I asked, "What does he do?". My brother tells me, "he's a peat farmer". I asked, "Is there that much money in peat farming?" He says, "no but his father on his deathbed left him several hundred acres of swamp. His father told him he could do whatever he wanted with the land as long as he never sold one square foot." A few years later, they built Sea-Tac airport right next to his "peat farm". So now the Red Lion, The Hilton, The Marriot and about 20 other hotels and about 100 other business are all built on land they "lease" from him.

No. I have had too many groupies in my life already, who believed that everything I did was good, cool or whatever.

There called relatives and they rarely wear their reality glasses. ;-)

No, these were not relatives. These were not relatives. But friends of different sorts. In secondary school (12-18 years), in university, and quite a few other ways, who were too uncritical to see my own shortcomings, failures, and were too reluctant to do something similar (which they professed to believe in) themselves.
