Today is my birthday!  At least I’m not 30!

I’m reading a biography of Benjamin Franklin. Franklin is totally awesome when it comes to how unselfish he is with certain ideas and inventions. Lightning rods and the Franklin stove could have made him plenty of money- but those were his free ideas. He didn’t shy away from printing press royalties he earned from others, but it enabled him to retire in his 30s(?). Hopefully I’ll be able to retire by then. Ha. I haven’t finished the Biography yet, but Franklin is talking to the French about financing something.. let’s see what Ben’s up to next…
