Is "Project Leica" over before it started? Does anyone care?
I’ve been walking the dog a lot lately. Apart from helping me lose the soft ring around my middle, it is also great thinking time. Too great in fact. As my brain is fed more oxygen, particularly on uphill stretches, I keep having ideas. This is inconvenient. I already have too many ideas.
For instance there is my not-so-very-secret new bridal product. “Project Legacy”.
Then there’s the utterly unsecret desire to switch to Leica. Let’s call that, I dunno… “Project Leica”. Though for the ridiculous cost involved, it may as well be called “Project I’m an Idiot”.
This evening, I had a notion of what should come after “Project Legacy”. An idea so exciting I actually started grinning when it occurred to me.
There is a catch; one that jeopardizes “Project Leica”.
You see, reaching beyond “Project Legacy” simultaneously requires me to arrive at a stage past “Project Leica” before I’ve even embarked on “Project Leica”. I’m quite fond of “Project Leica”. I don’t want to miss out on “Project Leica”, but it currently stands between me and what I have now termed “Project T”. I choose the letter T because it practically never gets used in the Project sense, being so close to the much more high-profile letter X in the alphabet. Nor is it a vitamin, so it loses out doubly. (Incidentally, can you believe there is such a thing as vitamin U, my original choice of project name?).
So what to do?
My choices are:
A – Get a move on with “Project Leica” so that I can get past it quickly.
B – Skip “Project Leica” altogether and go straight to “Project T”.
C – Shut up you big girl’s blouse; nobody cares.
It occurs to me that Leica gear holds its value quite well. Conceivably, I could buy an outfit, use it until the time is ripe, and then sell it for pretty much the same as I bought it for, allowing me to reinvest the money in “Project T”.
Better start saving up then.
