[00:00:31] So are you happy? I think that is the big million dollar question. I was speaking to a group of high school students recently and I overheard a young woman say to a young man, I think they probably were both between 16, 17, maybe 18 years old. And she leaned over to him and she said, Are you happy? And it was a tender moment. I could tell that this was about to be something pretty sweet. And I wish that I could tell you that they had a long philosophical discussion and that I learned so much about kids these days, and the future is bright [00:01:00] with our youth.

But the sign said I own a home in and then insert local retirement community in my area there, which happens to be a very nice planned community for people 55 and older.

Clearly, [00:02:00] this man is the epitome of when I do my classic old man bit where I yell, Get off my lawn. But I would venture to guess that this man is probably not very happy, and he literally took time out of his day to have a very large sign mad...
