I never bought the ticket! OK, so to stretch that thought into a question: in what ways am I wanting to win without buying the ticket? In what ways am I wanting to get somewhere without going through the journey? I think I am willing to go through the journey. To further the journey metaphor a bit, I think I don't always know how to buy the train ticket, which side of the track to wait on, how to transfer onto another train, and where to get off. Sometimes I think I don't even know a train goes where I want to go and may not even know where I want to go. The train ride is overwhelming and so is life. But I'm willing to go for it.

Although I have not seen any research to support this. I will continue looking and post here if there is something new out there. Regarding your last comment, the only realistic part of the thought is you've got to buy a ticket to have a chance. The recent trends would seem to support your perception.

Funny You Tube. I have always enjoyed the drink holder that pops out of the computer box. Although it is a little flimsy, it is handy! Someone once told me it holds CD's but I wasn't sure what brand of soda that was. Must be something they sell up north. Rebooting is definitely better than pulling the plug. So often people want the quick fix which is usually divorce. I think people have a difficult time being committed to someone or something. People want to bug out when it gets tough or uncomfortable. Corey, is there any research that shows an overall deterioration in people persevering through a commitment? It seems that people are not as committed to their spouses and families but also other things like their jobs, employees, churches, support of country, ideals, and ideas. Have you noticed this or am I crazy? (OK, I think I just set myself up!) I will think about what life stuff excites me. I'm assuming winning the lotto is not realistic. Darn it. He he he.
