Thanks! I always have trouble coming up with names (any suggestions would be awesome), so I often end up giving temporary names, and then forget to rename :/

I love this, thank you for sharing your story, and congratulations on achieving your dream at 31!

ASML is located in the south of the Netherlands in Maastricht which sits at around 50m above sea-level.

So they have nothing to worry about on the climate change front

Unfortunately not from woodworking yet, but I’m hopeful. I have some rental income, some savings, and I still do some consulting a few months out of the year.

Dining tables seem to be the best margins, but I don’t have enough work to do commissions, so I’m going out of pocket to build on spec. The good news is a lot of high end furniture is very simple. I good sense of design goes a long way.

There was a guy in my fraternity who would never do anything fun with the group except on Saturday nights because he would always stay at his dorm and "study." Some of his roommates would come to events and would attest that he was at his dorm before and after they left/arrived back at the dorm, so he wasn't sneaking around having fun. We never did any crazy hazing or many forced events except the week before initiation which was the first week of the following semester, well outside of test time. When he got his grades back, he had C's and below, and failed several classes. Because of this he got his silly nickname: Ferd, because he was a "fake nerd". He missed out on all that fun for nothing.
