I am rich right now. Far richer than Musk, Koch, and or Putin will ever be. [View all]

Despite some health problems, money problems, and not being able to work right now
I am sitting on my sofa with my yellow lab’s head is on my right leg, in my little house
and she is snoring. Money can give you many things but real wealth comes from the simple

Oh BTW the glass of reisling is nice too.
