What are you actually doing in the U.S? is it all property related stuff? (never know, you could be a star)
Have you met any famous people?
I am being Mr. Mom while my wife completes a 2.5 year travelling nurse contract. 3 more months to go.
The closest I've come to "property stuff" was settling on our block of land back in Aus 2 months ago, (and I did nothing; the solicitor and the Bank did all that), and other than that; talking to you guys on this forum. Mostly, I just play golf, look after the "terror" and we do a lot of travelling when my wife is off; she works 4 days, has 3 off.
Is my life exciting, or what?
I saw Dr.Phil out the front of a friend of our's place. He was driving past, and had to stop and wait for a car coming the other way. He gave us a wave.
The only famous person I have actually met (our friend we were visiting when Dr. Phil went past) is Ed Marinaro.
For the older brigade who used to watch Hill St Blues, he was Officer Coffey.
He was also on Laverne and Shirley and numerous other things. He still does a few cameo roles, but is basically retired and plays golf in Pro-Celebrity events around the Country, and after-dinner speeches for a living.
Ed is also a Heiseman Trophy winner from the NFL. This is a similar achievement to the Brownlow award (best and fairest), or whatever the equivalent is in Rubgy.
His wife, Tracy York, is also famous; an aerobics guru to the stars in Hollywood, and has done about 30 videos.
Google them and you'll see what they've done.
They are both very, very modest and very, very wealthy. A great family with their son; little Ed.
I met them at the West Hollywood Park; little Ed was playing with my son, and Tracy got talking to me, found out I was a golfer (Big Ed is a fanatic golfer) and the next thing you know, we are at their house for a barbie in the Hollywood Hills.
My wife got to look after; Urula Andress, Rachel Welch, Cheryl Crowe, Walter Matthau, and a slightly wealthy guy named Kirk Kircorian (google him), at Cedars-Sinai Hospital - she worked there when we were in L.A.
