Well, if you are only 50 grand in debt for a house that size, you  (and 
family) have done well.  You look very young.  You keep selling ginseng for 
hundreds of dollafrs per lb, there is no telling what you might have 
accomplished at age 50.  Sage does a blog similar to yours.  I enjoy them 
both.  I had not seen yours in a few months.  ...bobford
