It's a long story and the older I get the longer the story gets.

But the essence is this.  I could have begun doing what I do for the Caesar's 
coin part of my income, and also for the subsistenec part of my income, when 
I was 15.  I had the resources at my disposal, I had the idea that I wanted 
to 
do it, and in every real sense, I had to opportunity .... in every sense but 
one.

The family and societal expectations of the times forbade even thinking about 
it.  Proper people go to college and get professional jobs and make their 
mark in the world.

What a load.  It was a bad fit all along, as it will be for any free soul.

So obviously I am being facetious when I use the term, but is none the less, 
as we say around here, "kidding on the square."
