How does it feel to wake up every morning and realise you are living every male between the age of 6 and 50's dream. You lucky son of a gun, I'll bet you had to earn it though.

Its pretty good. To be at this level were things that were challenging are no longer an issue. Just great but you do get used and after a while its the same old same old.
