Well, one of your sons has his shit in a tiny little bag, which is really good. Get him to regularly beat his younger brother on the head on a regular basis until he decides to do his dear old dead a major mitzvah and take the fucking money..

Troy is around 150 miles to Boston and 200 to NYC. That’s Houston and Dallas from Austin.T’is a pittance.

We drive through Troy about once a year on our trek from NH to my native IL, but we hadn’t really looked into it. A lot of the decrepit housing is on or near the highway that bisects the town. Last summer we actually did a proper visit. Like a lot of other struggling communities, it’s a real mixed bag. A nice little downtown area off the main drag.

But, yes, the real issue is money. I have nothing really to offer except tuition credits at a school he’s over-qualified for (though I have had some brilliant students!). So he needs to take your idea seriously or do what his bro did and live with us for a couple of years and bank credits.
