Thinning hair, flirting with obesity, get winded if walk up 1 flight of stairs (which are of course avoided), gigantic occasional hemmorhoids, gassy, dumpy clothes, work for the state, live in a too-small-house, drive old cars, live hand-to-mouth, hobbies are watching TV and farting around with tobacco plants in a doomed yet self-entertaining effort to try to end up with halfway respectable cigar tobacco leaf sometime in 2011, have realized long ago by now would have been better off from an economic perspective to just buy a few boxes of really good cigars and call it even.
Happy, great wife, great kids, Christian, and figure I have far more and live far better than the richest people did, including kings, from the dawn of human civilization all the way up to about 200 years ago, give or take 100 years. Horseless chariots, medical wonders, hot & cold drinkable water at the turn of a lever, cornucopias of food available 24 hours a day, cool in summer, warm in winter, the list is endless. An embarrassment of riches!
Who reads this anyway? An obscure sub-folder in a cigar forum of all places. Why did I spend the time writing this? I could have washed the dishes which are right in front of me this whole time. Or done any number of productive things. Aw nuts.
