Jeffrey

Jeffrey is a cool cat. He must be in his late thirties to early forties and he owns and operates his own watch repair store/antique watch shop. We struck up conversation and I soon discovered that Jeffrey wanted/wants to be a movie star. He had moved to LA in 1990 and almost immediately got a recurring role on a primetime sitcom.
Jeffrey still works occasionally in film and television but has, more or less, given up the idea of 'making it'. He knows some actors who film a couple movies a year and do a guest starring role occasionally but he is feeling rather content with over 1 million paid on his home in the Beachwood neighborhood of LA. That's a lot of equity. He does this with his watch store. Talk about making good money doing something else.
Jeffrey was as worried about the future of the environment and, more specifically, our country as my girlfriend (the princess) and I. It was very fun meeting someone who had incredibly high and, some would say, unrealistic goals but somewhere along the line found a different way to get the house and lifestyle he desired. That's some ingenuity!
Night, the princess beckons.
