Miscelanious ponderings: What would you do?
I went to the bar with my dad the other night (I know. Weird, right?) to see a band play. I've seen the band play several times before. They're fun, they write some of their own stuff and put interesting twists on some old favorites, and the bass player is a long time friend of my dad's. This time was a little different though. They had a fiddler playing with them. He was an intersting person who looked like he was having fun. As it turns out, he's a nice guy too.
What got me thinking was this:
Ooh! Fiddle! .... I really like fiddles. ..... I'd like to learn how to play fiddle. .... I'd like to learn to play fiddle on a Stradivari. ..... That would be the definition of extravagance..... I'd like to play my Stradivari at a camping event and watch people dance to it. ....
You see? It just snowballs until I have the Stradivari that I'll never be able to afford, but would love to have and play. Dream big, right?
So that's what got me thinking. If you could do anything in the world, and money wasn't an issue, what would you do to treat yourself to a little bit of extravagance? What little bit of frivolity would make you feel like you were living in the lap of luxury?
