You have no idea how stressful and agonizing it is being a millionaire dilettante, having to indulge yourself constantly with testosterone and ego-enhancing 'sports' like yachting and ballooning.
Feel his pain.

And Look! What kind of Bio is this for an "adventurer":
Fossett's other adventures have including swimming the English Channel, piloting a dog sled in the Iditarod race in Alaska, driving in the LeMans auto endurance race in France and finishing the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii.
I see no Dragons! No Kobolds! Not even a little steenking goblin.
Heh, some adventurer he is.
