I was confused by the CPA part at first, then I figured his wife is probably the CPA. I should have thought of it sooner, since my wife is a financial analyst (duh).

When I was in college, my wife was the only one earning money (I was working the hardest in my entire life!). Maybe George is doing something similar to have so much time.

When I saw his website, the fact that he's built boats, and his credentials (it takes time to get degrees) I was impressed (and still am). I don't know how anyone can do so much and still sleep. I need at least seven hours on a consistant basis, and I am struggling to free up time to build a kayak. With a wife, two kids, a dog, a crow, a house, an old truck, a job, and a running problem... I just don't know where to fit it!
