Actually, I agree ...

... "We inherited from him early his abounding sense of the possibilities of the countryside." (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

This post is definitely worth reading. The single most satisfying work I ever did was as a member of a construction crew building stores. I enjoyed everything about it: the early start and comparatively early finish, the camaraderie, the sense of fulfillment when the store was finished. And the pay wasn't bad, either. The best life is probably a nice mix of physical and mental labor. St. Benedict was on to something.
