I'm getting you that contact information from my brother from Rondé, and he mentioned the first name, and you stopped dead in your tracks.

When you heard the name Jeff.

Meanwhile, I've been here 19 years and I've been... See, it's funny, you think that, but then you don't realize you've been here in one place for a very long time.

Yeah.

And how old are you at this point?

In your 30s?

So 98 would be 28 years ago.

Maybe even 29.

Because I only bring it up because you and I always talk about how some of our friends would get out of college and within a couple of years had big jobs.

Yeah.

Like accounting firms or, and then we're making serious money.

And it took us, it took me until I was trying to think the year now, probably 26 or 27 before I would say I was making a livable wage.

Like, think about all those years the two of us worked for, like, nothing.

But I didn't live in Florida, though.

Yeah.

And I was making $22,500 in 98 and was broke, beyond broke.

And my rent was at that point, 900 a month.

And I did have a car payment.

And I had tolls to pay.

Yeah.
