Blue Collar

from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar

I grew up in a "blue collar family.  One grandfather was a firefighter, the other work at a plant.  My father worked at large plant then the power company, my mother was a nurse.  I have always looked at those people, nurses, plumbers electricians, police officers, fire and EMT as the true backbone of our nation.  You know it when you need them!Also, I have been able to travel all over and can drop more names a places then then geese droppings in migration.  Although, it's at the local diner, or pancake breakfast, or spaghetti dinner where I feel at home. The wedding reception in the town center and coffee in the back yard.  I have my share of big time dinner/events in LA, NYC,DC with well know people, but it is home, with those that are the closest where I find my comfort.  I am a boring dude!timothymahar.org
