 Grass Valley sits in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, its old gold mining country, and it's where Jim Boyd's daughter decided to start her family. They settled here, and I was ready for a new challenge, and I kind of like my kid, so that's why I'm here. He'd spent the past 20 years as a hop farmer in Washington. Now he's almost retired. I'm just trying to relax and enjoy life. I'm going to flip the switch next month and actually start Social Security.
