Our occupation defines us so I have always wondered how to answer the simple philosophical question of who am I.

How would you answer that question?

Many would disagree with the emphasized premise.

The best answer I've heard, though, goes like this: Boring man A turns to man B at a cocktail party and asks, "So, what do you do?" Man B looks over his shoulder, then leans over and whispers "You mean for fun or for money?"

It would be nice if I figured out who I am before I die.

I really like the saying "I may grow old, but I don't have to grow up."

I'm a historian, tracing deeds as far back as the records go.

I'm a puzzle solver, trying to fit "jigsaws" that have pieces that don't fit or are missing.

I'm a trailblazer, cutting line through briers and swamps.

I'm a mind reader, placing the lines dividing the inheritance where everyone gets the piece they wanted.

I'm a magician, making that 35 acre parcel into 40 acres like "Daddy" told the client it was.

I'm a negotiator,?ÿ getting adjoiners to agree to the location of the line that they BOTH KNOW is wrong.

And now I'M RETIRED.

Andy

I am a magician that is setting around waiting for an engineer to call and tell me what to do.?ÿ I never have anything on schedule for tomorrow. I also have to ability to complete any project under a budget that was prepared by someone else. And I love to drive across the State, or into the neighboring State to locate that manhole and get the invert for you, especially since, I have nothing else on schedule for that day, all while being mindful of my windshield time I charge.?ÿ

I am an American, a father, a husband, and a friend.?ÿ

How you do your job defines you more than what job you do.?ÿ?ÿ

?ÿMy definition of a good American is someone that does not settle for mediocrity; someone that understands and appreciates that it is the people who grant power to the government and not vice versa; and someone who is inspired by the success of others not victimized by it.?ÿ?ÿ
