pimpin' my ride

ok. we did it. We joined the club.

First of all, a quick joke...
What is the difference between a cactus and a BMW?

answer: with a cactus, the pricks are on the outside.

I (we) joined what I am calling the Cactus Club.

This is what my new car pretty much looks like


my brother-in-law, TJ, that is a BMW mechanic found it and doing the work on it. (new clutch, shocks, new headlights, etc). So within a few weeks, I will be zipping around in one of these beauties.

The Broncos Suck!

So, why I am writing this? Just to get my sister-in-law riled up.

You see, I am sitting here at 11:20 P.M. writing a paper for this Certified Public Manager course I am doing and Wendy is at the desk next to me doing some work on her laptop.

She mentioned to me that her sister told her that I need to update my blog as she likes to read it.

Well, how in the heck would I know she reads it - I don't see any of her comments!

So, this post is for you, Mindy - and I will include your favorite Bronco, just because I love ya!

Introducing the world famous Barrel Man

Bumper sticker...

Last month (I can't believe it has been a month already) when I was in San Diego, I noticed this bumber sticker on the back of a car:


I thought it was good...

Great new movie...

It seems like someone in our family has been sick the past few weekends. Today it is my turn.

Anyway, staying home so I can be close to the bathroom has allowed me time to write today. This past weekend we watched a wonderful movie, "Once"

The movie - see the right side of the blog - is about a guy and a girl that meet on the Dublin streets and spend a week sharing their music and heartaches. Glen Hansard stars in the movie (he was the red-haired guitar player in "The Commitments") with Marketa Irglova and the movie revolves around the actual music that the two stars created and perform.

Check it out if you get a chance, although it is a bit tough to find. Oh, it also was an award winner last year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Also check out the youtube link on the side to hear some of the music.
