He Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins

I drove home following a car with this bumper sticker yesterday, and it got me thinking. Because of course we don't have room for toys on a 33' boat (except that many would argue that the boat itself is the toy). Instead, I trained our friends to give gifts of experiences: dinners out, concert tickets, museum passes; or consumables like a bottle of good wine. From that evolved the belief that he who dies with the most experiences wins.

As we get ready to leave Annapolis and try to schedule some one-on-one time with all the special people we won't be able to see as often, I realize that our social calendar is way, way overcrowded. I am incredibly wealthy -- I have discovered that I have more friends than days. New bumper sticker: He Who Dies With The Most Friends ... Really Wins.
