As we got more and more educated about all the costs and understanding what a CDD is and learned the restrictive covenants, we still loved it.

To be angry at TV about the "free golf" is being trivial, which is best defined by a great Eugene O'Neill quote:

“When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity - but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.”
Thanks John. I hope you meet you at Crispers when I get there.
