When I was very young I thought my Dad worked hard. He had his own construction company. When I got to go to work with him as a teenager I discovered that at 7:00 AM he visited job-sites carrying a check ledger and looking mean. By 11:00AM we were at a tavern for lunch that ended about 3:00PM. Then a stop at the office to check the mail. That took about 20 minutes. Finally capping off the day with a stop at a favorite restaurant for a snack and hanging out with other contractors. Home by 7:00PM for Mom’s dinner.
