Tagged - I'm it.

So, Mr Happy Training blog-tagged me. Guess that means I should oblige him (and my other 2 readers) and respond. :)

Where was I ten years ago?

Living in my first house with my wife and son. Working too many hours as a network engineer at a consulting company. Staying up late, drinking to go to sleep, and watching too much TV. 

What are 5 non work related items on your list today?

• Finish putting the ridge shingles on my shed
  
• Replace the middle ring and crank arm on my mountain bike
  
• Have the yard mowed
  
• Finish the computer wiring in my house

• Fresh peaches
  
• An ice cold can or bottle of Coca-Cola or Mountain Dew

What I would do if I was a billionaire?

First

Standard stuff

• Help my immediate family out in a sensible way. Some people wouldn't have to worry about working as they've worked long enough. Others would get enough to lift them out of the holes they've found themselves in, but would have to work somewhere in order to keep receiving assistance.
• Set up college funds for my son, and the children of my immediate family. 
• Set up a scholarship fund for students from high school. 
• Take care of some close friends that I think deserve to have life be a little easier
• Set up a fund and use the interest from that to fund any charities I felt like working with. 
• Put the remaining money into a trust, and receive a regular "paycheck" from there to live from. 
• Ride a LOT more. 

Fun stuff
