What's your profession? Age?

I'm 53 today.
I am a quality engineer and a metrolist at a aerospace PMEL, here on the space coast of Florida.
I also own a sound reinforcement company with some recording capabilities that is about 10 years now in my friends rehersal studio on long island.
My HT sytem retails for 13.5k, bedroom stereo about 5k.
Other audio related collections includes microphones, guitar pedals, guitars, combos/amps, etc...

Happy Birthday Rich. Mine is on Monday, and I too will be 53! Getting old is not for sissies. So said Betty Davis.

Analog Engineer (Amplifier Design Consultant), 54 years, stereo is at 50,000 - not counting the 2 home theater systems or the system in the garage made of left over high end stuff. I think I have another 15,000 or so of high end gear in the attic, most of which was dissected to see what worked and what didn't.

I was a gardener in Lakeview/New Orleans until Miss Katrina came along.
I read siomewhere that katrina is russian and means to "clean out". Makes sense to me, being a life long resident of the city.
I guess in India she would be called Kali.
The destroyer.
Righ now unemployed. So I spend time researching stocks for my family's account.
