My wife and I make no excuses for wanting to escape the real world. I am old and smart enough to know that the many people's real world consist of what they see in 30 second video clips on the "news", what they believe to be true without a shred of fact to back it up or what the politicians tell us. In the real world I am expected to gracefully accept what I do not want to accept. I did my tour in Vietnam and gave back to society for many years. Today, "keeping it real" usually means accepting rudeness, inappropriate behavior, etc.. I rather keep it fake for the remainder of my life.

I hope that gentleman sells his house soon and gets his wish. All I know is that since moving to TV my stress level has decreased and my health has improved dramatically. The real world was killing me.
