I was once showing a home that boasted numerous fruit trees in the backyard. "Look!" I said to my clients, pointing to the avocados. "A guacamole tree!"

Then, I gleefully called their attention to a lime-bearing specimen. "A margarita tree!" This is when the wife laughed, "Isn't it funny how Kris only sees trees for their end product?"

Actually, it's good business. I have a vision.
