I've come to accept, a long time ago, that their are a lot of people that have, and will always have, bigger backyards than I do. Irregardless of how well my investments may ever do, I can live with the fact that I'll never have a home with a golden toilet, people working there whose sole purpose is to guide vistors in case they get lost, nor silverware which is thrown away after initial use.

But I find much comfort in the fact that I own both a tube amp, and an steel Italian bicycle.
