    He's a good kid, and rarely complains about the jobs I give him.

    Every once in a while he does hear "how lucky he's got it". He's heard a few stories about me growing up on a farm. Mostly the one about riding a hay rack all summer stacking bales when I was his age or the walking the 50 acre bean field row by row pulling volunteer corn out of the rows.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
