Canadian = Hockey Player! Now that I've 'grown up' and I'm not a hockey player the next best thing is to drive the Zamboni. Well I went down to my local arena. I asked to see the manager man. He came from his office and said, "Son can I help you?" I looked at him and said, "Yes you can." 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni. I wanna drive the zamboni. (Yes I do.) Since I was young it's been my dream to drive that there zamboni machine. I'd get that ice just as slick as could be, and all the kids would look up to me. 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni. I wanna drive the zamboni. (Yes I do.) The manager said, "Son, I know it looks keen, but that right there is one expensive machine. And we've got Smokey who's been driving for years." About that time, I broke down in tears. 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni. I wanna drive the zamboni. 'Cause I wanna drive the zamboni. I wanna drive the zamboni. (Yes I do.)

I was born in 1959, and grew up during the space race. When I was in grade 4, I read a sci-fi novel about a team of terraformers on Mars ... and I wanted to be the chemical-engineer that ran a big atmosphere generator for our first colony on Mars ... I even stayed in excellent shape and took all the university science courses needed to do such a job, but between the Viet-Nam war, budget cuts, and numerous other problems, the space race slowed and we still have no off world colonies, and by the time we do, I will not be able to do the job. I teach a mix of self defense and health sciences, and I write software now instead.
