    First cars?

    My 1st car was a 1964 Chevy Impala... My folks bought it brand new. I bought it from them in high school in '72. By '76, I had restored it and it looked like I just drove if off the showroom floor. It was stolen and wrecked just after I bought my 2nd car, a 1976 Toyota Celica GT. (These are...

Unbeknownst to me, there was a broken peanut butter jar in the trash bag with a very jagged edge. The bag just bearly bumped my leg on the long walk down the driveway to the...

    marley and me

    Haven't seen the movie, but did read the book. It was great. I'll probably wait until the movie comes out on pay-per-view to watch it though. In my experience, it you read the book 1st, the movie is usually a letdown.

    We had flurries today. No where near a dusting. Just flurries that turned to light rain on the way home from work.
