To work more jobs than anyone else on the face of the earth. To toil in every state. To labor as an apprentice with regular men and women, doing the kind of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us. To laugh. To sweat. To collapse. To laugh some more. To prove that hard work and fun can sometimes co-exist.
