John
John J. Sollog, recently 37 years old, gleeful husband of 13+ years to Tiffany (one of the East Coast's foremost Health and Safety Specialists), father of Adam (9, 10 in March), and John W. (7). Avid local Baseball fan (Atlantic League Atlantic City Surf). Active in church (choir, Praise and Worship band on guitar and keyboards, adult bible study, many special committees, dinner assistance, etc).
Currently employed full time as a Counselor, Penal Institution (title lends itself nicely to a Jawdy joke, no?). Part time/on call as a Life Skills Specialist / M.I.C.A. Residential Counselor. Also the weekend manager (self-titled) of small card/collectible/craft store co-owned by in-laws. Busy Guy.
Add in the Cub Scouts, kids chess club, 4-H, soon to add Soccer team, band, etc activities.
Recently returned to a modified Atkins/South Beach type plan with some quick results. Gotta love going through the "change of life" as a male.
Spent 9 years as a Drug/Alcohol Counselor before moving on to another 8+ years as a Mental Health Counselor and group home manager for addicts/alcoholics and mentally ill adults. The jail job for under a year. Daily get to spend time with those who the rest of society has shunned.
Starting to think that maybe society is right.
Conversation of approx. 14 1/2 years ago - at the Sollog home in Middletown NJ during a rare family dinner while home for a night from college.
Dad (aka John A.) : how are things going with Stephanie.
me: It's Tiffany.
Dad: okay. how are things with TIFFANY?
me: not bad. I'm going to ask her to marry me.
Dad: you are....
me: yeah. Pass the potatoes.
