I would like to work in a large aquarium or zoo giving tours. I would absolutely love to do that at the Shedd Aquarium in Chi. I fully plan on making that a reality someday when I live in a bigger city. I want to give tours of the bears or the penguins.
I love my job, I wouldn’t change it, but I’d like to do hair and make-up for the movies. That’d be cool! I’ve come close…I’ve cut people’s hair for commercials that they were about to do (it was local, and on a channel like 93, and on at 3 a.m, but still…). And I’ve done someone that was in a traveling opera show. Boy, was he picky!

Sometimes life is so great you just gotta muss up your hair and quack like a duck!
I’d want to be a lawyer if it was like it was in the movies. But it’s not, so I’ll have to do something with animals. They’re easier to deal with than people (present company excepted, of course).

I’d like to be a musician, or an actress, or a writer.
I can’t play or sing a note, and I’m too old & tired to become famous at acting, so my best bet is writing. I’m not half bad, really. I just don’t have the time right now to sit down & write.
No bars to talent or ability? I’d want to be so many damn things… but the one that springs to mind first is best-selling novelist and wildly successful screenwriter both. Then (hugely syndicated) radio talk show host. Then photographer. All three.
This is a non-smoking area. If we see you smoking, we will assume you are on fire and act accordingly.
You think those economists and financial journalists are confused now? I’d wear different colored ties for tightening and loosening until someone figured it out, then I’d change. I’d never carry the same thickness of briefcase. I’d drop words like “panic” and “undervalued” into the same after-dinner speech. My Humphrey-Hawkins testimony would sound like a Dennis Leary routine.
And oh, the groupies! You think rock stars have it good? “Come here, baby, let me raise your interest and increase your liquidity. My M1 velocity is accelerating!”
Some kind of information finder. Science or other practical stuff. I don’t care to track down humanities items. Himanities, arts etc are fine, but I don’t want to be in it.
That sort of thing just amazes me - and I’ve only recently begun to learn just how often I’ve been fooled into thinking something was real. Everything from the St. Bernard in Beethoven to the dolphin in Flipper - it’s simply amazing.

Life is a tapestry.
Each new day brings with it the opportunity to sew by
word and deed within the heart of someone around us.
Let us choose our colors with care.
I would make computerized special effects for TV/Films. Second choice would be animation. There is something incredible about bringing fantasy to reality

I’d like to be the inventor of something that everybody simply must have. Then just sit back and rake in the residuals for the rest of my unproductive, decadent life.
