Brad:  Great meme and very interesting--I love your choice for your parents and your wife--everyone needs to feel the love!  The most striking thing that you wrote is that you're living your dream!  That is a wonderful testimonial that most either don't feel or don't ever say.  I think that's so awesome and your success and happiness is reflected in your writing style--very positive.  Congratulations on your happiness & success!

Brad, always nice to know something of the people you read, etc.  You kind of hedge on "greatet impact" question.  I think you were right and wrong.  Why not all 3 and others.  They all molded or changed your life.  Rock on. AJ

Brad:  Thanks so much for sharing such interesting info about yourself.  In addition to all the cool stuff about you, I found your comment about Henry Ford pretty interesting.  He had the wisdom and foresight to double the wages of his production line workers, and his profits shot up from 30 million to 60 million dollars.  That really should say something to all of the companies that seek to cut workers wages in order to "save money."  Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting MeMe. And the dial tone thing is something I did not know. As a guitar player, that can come in handy!

Debe: Thanks for the kind words. Like everyone, I have my days of "Uhh!" but overall, I think that life is just too short to worry about the small stuff.

Karen Anne: Just don't point my employees to this post. They will expect me to double their salary! :-)

Missy: touché'!

Richard Weisser: Yeah, I wondered if Brad Andersohn knew about that one. Apparently he's a pretty killer guitar player!

Jay: I know. What was I thinking!

Bobbby: :-)

Sharon Young: Oh I know. His work is jaw dropping. If you ever get a chance, go to one of his galleries. They are even more incredible in person.

Thanks again everyone!

BRAD, I have loved these memes.  It is fun to see what makes people tick.  I'm with you about history I really like my conveniences.  My Dad was in the Army in World War II for 5 years and only got a few letters from home.  By the time my son gets out of the Army they will have had him for 5 years also but I get to talk to him on instant messenger several times a week while he is in Iraq.  That is WAY COOL!!  I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!
