I was going to watch this but I feel that Jimmy would prefer that I complete my chores first. I have a lot to do and need to get them done.

seeing his family home. Was struck, while watching, how others would consider where and how Carter grew up as being a "loser" for being so sweet and simple. He wasn't out for riches, but to help others improve their situations. Very different than where we are today.
