You've pretty much figured it out, sounds like. It's just a matter of planning ahead, and controlling where the tiles can spawn. I place my big tile in the bottom left, and work mostly left and right. If I get a chance to increase a tile swiping down, I generally take it, and I try to control what can spawn at the top. Luck plays a part too, of course. Here's a shot of my current game, so you can see what it looks like when I haven't screwed myself over, like I did in that last one. I suspect it's the same as what you do, just a matter of planning ahead several moves.

Todd:
Whatever works out, works out. I am (hopefully) starting a new job in a few weeks with a new company (doing the same type of thing), but it's pretty hard to see out of the crab bucket that I'm in at the moment - even though the new place has told me that they want me to work there, offering me more money, and that it will be a quite different work environment from where I am now. Good on ya for realizing your own dreams as well as your son's....I find that my kids always speak the truth if I can listen and hear what it is they're saying, and how it applies to my own life as well as theirs. I know you'll do well, even if the money isn't the same, and there are other things to deal with. Taking a chance at doing what you love, even if there might be a financial "squall" or two (or three) will be whatever you make of it. Good luck to your boy as well...maybe he will see that stuff doesn't always "happen" unless you make it so. Or at least try...it's not a failure to go for it and fall short. It's a learning experience.
Of course, all this is just theory, at least for me, at this time. I love to work with my hands, but you...have some mad skills.
And IBTL. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Marine biology researchers have developed a new method to fend off shark attacks.
If you are diving and are approached by a shark they recommend that you swim towards it aggressively and punch it in the nose as hard as possible.
If this doesn’t work, beat the shark with your stump.

I know you have been laying awake at night wondering why baby diapers have brand names such as “Luvs”, “Huggies,” and “Pampers’, while undergarments for old people are called “Depends”.
Well here is the low down on the whole thing.
When babies crap in their pants, people are still gonna Luv’em, Hug’em and Pamper’ em.
When old people crap in their pants, it “Depends” on who’s in the will!

At a senior citizen’s meeting, a couple were celebrating their 50th anniversary. The husband stood up and was telling story of his dating habits in his youth.
It seemed that every time he brought home a girl to meet his mother, his mother didn’t like her.
So, finally, he started searching until he found a girl who not only looked like his mother and acted like his mother, she even sounded like his mother.
So he brought her home one night to have dinner, and his father didn’t like her.
