Pipe Dreams

Remember growing up and teachers would ask: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" my mother loves to tell the story that I raised my hand on one of these fateful days and told the entire class I wanted to be a "nudy dancer" (stripper). Well that pipe dream never saw reality (thank god) but I've had some other dream jobs that I don't see becoming a reality including but not limited to: Cop, Bounty Hunter, screnewriter, romance novelist (that one might still be on the table), Head Chef, bartender (think cowboy ugly)...

Now I would just settle for a steady job as a teacher with benefits and paid time off.
