My seventy-five-year-old grandfather is a man of many talents and as many careers in his lifetime.

Just when we think he’s ready to wrap up his business life and retire, he surprises us.

For instance, he has recently become Internet savvy and, while most of his friends are fishing or gardening, he is finding ways to make the Internet pay.

Last week he showed me how he’d begun to make money in his new realtor probate marketing enterprise. And it wasn’t nickels and dimes either. He’s stashed some serious cash.

Watching Grampa working away on his laptop, I can only hope I’ve inherited his drive and enthusiasm.
