Actually, I was...before I retired early, then took up flying to scratch a life-long itch.

I don't fly because I have to. That's for suckers. I tell any youngster who will listen....get a degree in finance and go to Wall St. Earn an early retirement, THEN go do what you really want to do in life.

Most won't listen....much less understand simple logic.

Btw, "lowely" is spelled "lowly". But I'm sure you knew that.
