JIM: I don’t think I can do this. I was just laying there last night in bed and I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about the wedding and the ceremony and all. Us buying a house and moving in together. Having a kid… Having another kid… (begins to snowball) … Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, football games, all of a sudden they’re out of school, getting jobs, getting married, and then, you know… I’m a grandparent. I’m retired. Before you know it – I’m dead… and I just kept thinking… “What’s the point?” (now asking Ryan directly) I mean what is the point?
