“My one buddy in college would rent a plane to get away for the weekend. He would fly down to the Caribbean. Arrive Friday night and return Sunday by noon. To top it off, he has multiple certifications and would fly the plane himself.

There was a picture of a forest over his bed in college. It had a small dot in the center. When we first met, I asked What’s that about? He said it was his parents’ mountain home. I believe it was over 1,000 acres or maybe 10,000 acres. His family owned a huge stake in a timber company.

Another guy in college, not my friend, was a prince from the Middle East. He was friends with some of my friends. I never saw him in the same sports car twice. His family had homes all over, and he would randomly meet up with them over extended weekends. The one home local to us, I recall, had a front gate, then a drawbridge; the home was on an island. I only recall the story because he said he was very late and didn’t know that going from the front gate to the house would take so long. On trips he flew, he’d get dropped off at the executive airport where a jet plane would stand waiting for him.”
