So, I have a tendency to defer things. I'm not talking about procrastinating on the things I have to do (although I, of course, do fall victim to that as well). I'm referring to deferring things I want to do "Later, when I have more time (or money) (or energy) (or a cool synergy with another activity)". The thing is, as John Lennon told us "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."
So, I live near Boston. Boston has a world class symphony and symphony hall and I like to go. How often have I been in the 23 years I've lived here? Not much, but I'll get around to going regularly "later". So for my 54th birthday this year, I bought myself a simple three concert series with two seats at each:
Izze and I seeing Yuja Wang performing with BSO: Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie |
Seb and I seeing Gubaidulina's Progol and Prokofiev's Symphony No 4 |
Irene and I seeing Berlioz's Romeo et Juliette |
Other people buy a membership to a gym to motivate themselves to work out. I guess I'm just like them, huh?
Yes, already have my 3 events, 2 seats each for this concert season!
