I'm just wondering if I still have a chance at nirvana. I knew a guy once who went from a four bedroom house to a townhouse, to a 2 bedroom apartment, to a one bedroom apartment, to a studio apartment, to a boat (cabin cruiser). I met him during his boat days. Whenever he grew to dislike his neighbors he pulled anchor and found another neighborhood! As for all this talk of cars, I don't need one of those things in New York and don't miss owning one. My carfree lifestyle probably saves me $5k-10k a year. As for possessions, I have a general rule that for something to come into my apartment, something else has to leave. As long as the flows are in balance, there are no problems. Everything has to prove its worth, if it is not used, then out it goes! Keeps eBay in business.. Regards, Larry
