Happiness and Wagner
This is a pretty good article on how money can make you happy, but only if you spend it on the right things.
#1 on the list is "Buy experiences instead of things". So with that in mind, I'm seriously thinking of going to see The Ring of the Nibelung next month. The Metropolitan Opera performed it, it was filmed in HD, and it's showing at the Penthouse from June 14. I'm not sure if I'll make it through the whole 15 hours, but at least I have a pre-existing interest in the setting to help me through :-)
General plan is to see one a week, and not buy tickets more than a few days in advance, in case I want to drop out. So if you'd like to join us (Stephanie has already promised to come too), let me know.
