If he's happy at that sign painting job, or in who is he - which is much more important then what he does after all - then - as I see it, he's succesful in life.

I just read an article about him in People magazine. I think its wonderful to encourage knowledge and learning but not to the sacrifice of childhood. Luckily for Adragon ( such a cool name) its never to late to have a happy childhood.

Torque also mentioned that nobody's pushing him to do anything stupendously amazing with his talent.

To me, being happy and having friends and living adventurously is stupendously amazing. As someone who just spontaneously moved to Alaska I can attest to this. :)

He's good at math, and I guess it comes in handy -- good -- if I ever go out to lunch with him he can figure out the tip.
