Is that worth the price? It would be for me. It makes my list
of 600-thread-count sheets, Basil Hayden's bourbon, a game-winning goal, the top shelf of my bookcase, seeing Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo in person and the solo from Weezer's Only in Dreams. A weird list no doubt, but they're the kind of things that I would like to have with me if stranded on an island, and if I couldn't have them, I could live on the memory.
Right now, I'm off to make some more memories. More on the S4 when I return from my trip.
