15, LSU baseball camp.

Which really depresses me, because that means I’ve been working for 21 years. And I’ve got probably another 29 years I’ll have to work.

All three of my teens have summer jobs, even my 14 year old daughter . One of them has two jobs. I like seeing the initiative- the desire to work - it makes me feel very optimistic about their future.

First job at 13 launching boats on the Violet Canal right off St. Bernard Hwy. Worked 12-14 hour day on weekends during school and 4-5 days a week in summer. Made a grand salary of $1.20 an hour + tips---------which were very few and far between.

Think about 13. I worked the front counter on Saturdays for the family business, answering phones, looking parts up in the database, pulling inventory from the warehouse, etc. My Dad paid me under the counter.

It seems like yesterday. USC message Board. November 2003. They mocked the very idea that LSU would get to play for a championship. LSU had a crappy coach. LSU played in a crappy league. Etc Etc ad nauseaum:

USC fan: You should go pimp that LSU shite on Tigerdroppings.

Me: What's Tigerdroppings ?

I never claimed to be a Pimp. I'm an LSUPimp. Big difference.
