5 Year Plan

I was talking to a wise woman the other night (Aunt Beth) and she suggested that we come up with a plan for where we want to be in 5 years. I was talking to Jason about it and Steinbeck was laying at the foot of the bed, making sure that he gets his requisite 22 hours of daily beauty rest. Jason considered the suggestion of a 5 year plan and then asked "Can our plan be that in 5 years everyone has to send us a bunch of money?" Well, I thought, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. After throwing some ideas around he then suggested "Why don't we sell all our posessions?" At that moment Steinbeck's head snapped around and the cat shot Jason a look that said "Hey, I like to SLEEP on a few of those possessions thank you very much." Then he jumped down off the bed, tapped the door open with his paw, and walked out with a look of disgust that made me wonder if WE were anywhere in Steinbeck's 5-year plan. I think cats are probably materialists.
