I bought the next farm over from the one I grew up on after my parents sold it while I was in college. Over the summer I attended my 30th class reunion by accident (buddy tricked me into coming out for beers neglecting to tell me the entire class of '91 would be present)... I was a little depressed to realize that my classmates are successful all over the globe doing exciting stuff and here I am farming next door to where I grew up and teaching mathematics in the same high school I attended 30 years ago I must be the most boring person alive!
