Over the past several days, I have seen news reports about a complete dinosaur skeleton, over ten feet tall and 20 feet long, that will be auctioned off later this summer. They expect it will sell for about eight million dollars. Now I really don't have any desire to own a dinosaur skeleton, although it would be an interesting conversation piece. "Nice dinosaur!" "Love the color." "Big, isn't it?" "It looks great in this room." You get the idea. I'm also wondering, where would you put it? By the pool? If you have a spare $8,000,000, you have a pool. In your son's bedroom? He would be the envy of all his friends. In the foyer? The tail could work as a coat rack. But, as I said, I don't want a dinosaur skeleton at all. But what do I want? What do you want? Assuming you had an extra eight million lying around, what would be the item that would call out to you? What do you want more than anything? If you're playing this game with me, no altruism. Assume that if you have eight million to spare, you have already given great gobs of money to charity. So what will it be? A boat, a plane, a mansion, a great car, fabulous jewelry? I think I would like to travel first class all over the world. And spend weeks or months in some of my favorite cities. Barcelona comes to mind. Sweet dreams.
