"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."
This was said by Mr. Spock in an episode of Star Trek. And it got me to thinking... I must admit that when I'm "hankerin'" for a particular uke, or style of uke, a big part of the fun is going to bed at night thinking about it, and waking up in the morning thinking about it again, looking forward to researching it, digging into the different possible options out there, etc.
Seems like (at least sometimes) once I pull the trigger and order a uke, there can be a subtle feeling of "letdown", I suppose because even though I'll soon "have" that uke, I will have lost the fun of dreaming about having it!
Anyone else experience this effect?
