Yesterday, we stopped in at the Verizon store to investigate changing our wireless plan and possibly upgrading my phone. One day I would very much like an iPhone. When the iPhone first became a reality, I imagined myself living a life where I actually needed one. People to contact, business to organize, networking... The reality today: it would be fun and I want one. So the Hobbes in me speaks and we add a free phone and $10 for a family plan and leave the Verizon store.
I can relate to so much of Calvin. I imagine running a marathon. I watch world class athletes in competition and tell myself that there is no better challenge, thrill than disciplining one's self past where you think you can. I can do that! I dream about learning another language, packing up the family and traveling the world. I think that hiking / backpacking and camping would be a fantastic vacation...I could go on with my ambitious self talk but eventually it gets a tad bit discouraging.
So, Hobbes, next year when I am eligible, I will get the upgrade. Then, I will run a marathon! ...just before we sell everything and take our trip around the world!
