So, after days of thinking about it I put down my $99 and registered for a SMART. I loved them in Europe and they are coming to America in ’08! So much for that happy place of no car payments. The one above is the configuration I want, color-wise, and yes, the cabriolet model – after year’s of swearing against a convertible
I was just too excited last week to find out that the SMART car I’ve seen in Europe is coming to the USA in 2008! I’m thinking very seriously that this may be my next vehicle. As long as I hang onto the Blazer, I still have something bigger if I really need it for hauling and such.

Trying to get back into the habit of semi-regular exercise, which in winter is hard for me. I have a treadmill (thanks to my Mom breaking her ankle a few years ago and not being allowed to do weight-bearing exercise anymore), but there’s little I find more boring.

At that point in my life, I felt that there had to be more to life. This past week, I was checking out a sneak preview of a movie at … Continue reading
There’s so much I could say about the year to date. The highs, the lows – unfortunately more of the latter. Beginning with the loss of my grandmother in January and continuing with my mom’s multiple surgeries for a broken ankle in Feb, it’s been quite a year. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think there will be anything I look back fondly of for 2003. That said, DragonCon was a heap of fun, as usual. And Brian (my cousin) and Kelly, bought a new home not far from … Continue reading
Ooooohhhhhoohhhhh my achin feet! But I had fun! After work today, I came home, changed clothes, and drove down to the North Springs MARTA station to catch a train downtown for Downtown Rocks and the chance to see Cake FREEEE BABBBYYY!!! Awesome concert and now I feel semi-moved to buy their new album sometime. There were a couple of good songs on it. It was a little hard reconciling the band on stage with the music at first. I don’t know any nice way to put it but the band … Continue reading
