This is so true. I used to help other people race their big sailboats. Lots of work before the race, during the race, and after the race. Then I started racing Laser class sailboats. What a blast. It's not the size of the boat, but the skill of the coxswain that makes it fun. Same thing in life.I think of this with sailing too......
The guy out on the boat he got for free or for $1,000 is having the same experience, or often better, than the 130K boat..........
I learned to sail on lasers, used to have a blast! Makes you feel like you're part of the water. Haven't sailed in years though. Unfortunately I have that drive followed by 30 mins on the subway. Boo!This is so true. I used to help other people race their big sailboats. Lots of work before the race, during the race, and after the race. Then I started racing Laser class sailboats.

Wow, that would be amazing, good luck getting the boat. My Mom actually lives near by in Newport.If my new boat comes through, you get a free ride if you can drive all the way down to Portsmouth RI for an afternoon.
(supposed to get boat shown in Avatar about June 5 or so)
People spend their lives striving for status, cars, jewelry, big houses- when they get them they want more.
My starter wife was enough of a torture, I think, to make me appreciate the small things and living in a moment. Sort of a matrimonial "vision quest"
Tonight- I have to put down our 12 year old rabbit that's having severe issues.This is the third to go in the past 6 months- all lived long lives. I'll cry, then I'll watch the Bruins game 7, drink a beer and scream my head off at the TV. Life goes on. Live in the moment.
sorry to hear AP. I like animals...most more than i like peoples. Even since I was 13 and my sister and her boyfriend pawned my drumset I have subscribed to the life philosophy of "Can't Have Nice Things"...and it works pretty well for me. I dont worry about "things", be that having them or not having them. I worry about Karma....for real.
See that succsessful guys cell phone? thats so 1994.
Stuff? Oh, I gotz stuff. Lots of stuff, but very little of it means a heck of a lot. Its all just tools to allow me to do the things I enjoy. Nothing gets free rent if it doesn't serve a purpose. There are a couple of things that DO mean a lot to me (cabin, fishing boat, and a couple others), but again, that is just to allow me to do the things I love.
