Today, I'd like to introduce you to my next-door Neighbor. His name is Ned. I've only met him a couple of times over the past few years and seems like a nice guy. He's always wearing Green - whether it's a T-shirt, a pair of sneakers, or something of the like. In the afternoons, I often see him lying face-up and spread-eagled on his luscious green lawn in amongst the daises of his backyard looking up at the clouds. While in this position, he doesn't move much - maybe it's just his way of meditating or chilling out from a warming world.

Anyhow, where was I? Yes, Ned's a bit of a mystery because when I first met him about three years ago he was dead broke - he told me he hadn't a penny to his name. His car was on its last legs and Ned himself looked worse for wear as well - always unshaven, and a party animal with a big beer belly sticking out from under his green T-shirts.

Recently though, I've seen a change in Ned. Now he's always well dressed, looks focused, and on a mission. I don't know how the dude makes money, but he seems to be doing okay for himself. I think he must do some kind of Internet marketing business because whenever he leaves home he takes a laptop computer with him. Last week he bought himself a brand new BMW with green strips down the back. I'd be quite embarrassed to drive it myself; but as they say, each to their own! His car license plates (number plates) read "SFM 777".

I can understand the 777, but I have no idea what the "SFM" means - maybe it's an acronym meaning "Seven Figure Mission"? Hmm..., well, maybe I should head on over to Ned's house right now and ask him, "Hey Ned, what exactly do you do? How do you make a crust? ... and what do the letters "SFM" stand for?"
