Do rather than have
This morning I saw a reference to an article about activity-based experiences “being the best way to achieve satisfaction”:http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/02/17/1076779970333.html, [via “Philip Greenspun”:http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2004/02/18#a3776]. This agrees very well with the sort of life I seem to be living at the moment, where a car is so far down my list of priorities as to be almost nonexistent, while a ski trip takes pride of place in my hopes and memories 
And I can’t say that the experience is that bad at all.
