Man if my Papaw could see us now. He found out I made 24k a year a few months before he passed 1989 or so if I had to guess (stupid ex-wife and her big mouth) and when he got me alone he said "I didn't we're rich - why didn't you tell me?". I told him I heard how he talked about rich folks and didn't want him to be ashamed of me. He laughed and said "hell I wasn't talking about us". He also said he liked beef better than venison during that conversation. I went on to own a handful of companies and retire at 41 some 15 years later.

Now Mrs. Geno is filling out 100 job applications for tenure track assistant professor. Man what a difference. I really hate he didn't get to see our life now.
