At this rate, he's going to be a Monk by summer!

It is funny you mentioned being a monk, I looked into it. Make Ale all day ;)
those Monks work very very hard, starting in the early morning until late at night. I did look into it honestly.
there is lots of opportunity out there. There's some great documentaries about monks on YouTube, very enlightening.
I'm not a Monk but having looked into it myself...being Buddhist, I can see the life as being very rewarding and fulfilling as supposed to being a Capitalist puppet.
Coming from this type of world [jobs, bills, consume, etc] I would imagine a great sense of freedom letting all of it go...
I would honestly both envy you and be happy for you if you went that route.
There once was a monastery that was very strict. Following a vow of silence, no one was allowed to speak at all. But there was one exception to this rule. Every ten years, the monks were permitted to speak just two words. After spending his first ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the head monk. "It has been ten years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"
"Bed... hard..." said the monk.
"I see," replied the head monk.
Ten years later, the monk returned to the head monk's office. "It has been ten more years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"
"Food... stinks..." said the monk.
"I see," replied the head monk.
Yet another ten years passed and the monk once again met with the head monk who asked, "What are your two words now, after these ten years?"
"I... quit!" said the monk.
"Well, I can see why," replied the head monk. "All you ever do is complain."
