In the definition by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.<br /><br />So not to belittle Walter's dream of RVing at a college football game [something out of Smokey and the Bandit perhaps], probably not EVERYONE's idea of the American Dream, I'm so glad you all delighted in the SPONTANEITY of it all. Looks like a gorgeous day as well.<br /><br />I read SDSU beat Air Force 28-9. Were you rooting for Air Force since it was Veteran's Weekend? Looks like a great way to spend the day!<br /><br />Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537194343288478024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213724682902859333.post-70870661404226263822012-11-12T09:06:41.436-08:002012-11-12T09:06:41.436-08:00I think the American dream is the freedom to do wh...I think the American dream is the freedom to do what you want, and the hope that you can achieve it.
