I don't get those touchy-feely presentations, but I'll periodically collaborate with someone who does (and who's not into the numbers).I also throw myself into situations sometimes where I'm a fish that's out of the water.

One of his popular attractions is the kids fishing pond with annual stocking.

Portalnd is a huge market we currently have 30 homes under construction and 9 flips going.. so we are small fish for sure... over 5,000 new homes will be built in our market this year... but can't complain.I only do JV's anymore I don't actually lend and I am in 12 states and usually have about 100 to 120 projects going in these markets that I fund. 

He spent a lot of time with the grandkids, traveling, gardening, fishing and volunteering. 

That is how all the subdivision developers around here do it, so I guess it is good enough for a small fish like me.

I did exclusively stocks 1992-2004, then added in some real estate (buy and hold, self managed) about 2004 to present and it was like becoming a different species (like a fish suddenly becoming a land animal)...Whole different ball game.

"Making" it in America....I would equate it to fishing with dynamite. 

When I retire from the military...I want to go fishing!

I go up to that area 2 to 3 times a year to fish and when I was younger would fly my plane into Kamloops and Vernon.. 

I also ANSWER my phone when ever possible even to say I have to call you back. then I do my work out and turn it off about 5 and then watch sports ( 49ers, Giants Warriors are my teams)  then check out BP and other things like aviation sites. ( avid pilot) and then fishing .. like to fish.Stop and smell the roses quarterly  IE take a nice trip somewhere Mexico..
