I'm doing my best to enjoy it while I can.. I quit my job in the city, 
as the commute was murder (nearly 4 hours a day travelling, for a 
grunt-job!) and started a web design/development company with the wife 
from home.

We get to spend most of our time at home with our three wonderful boys, 
and not feel like "slaves to the man"

Recently moved to a gorgeous 5-bedroom two-storey house with ocean 
views, and we're living it up while it lasts!

Thanks for the reminder that life only happens once, and it's to be lived
