I took a little break from answering complimentary emails about my new shoes to sign in here and report the latest news about my brakes. The car has over 76,000 miles on it and the front brake pads are down to 20-25% and the rears are still at 70%. Yes, the SAME brakes that came from the factory. I attribute the longevity not to Honda’s brake pad vendors but rather my own judicious use of the middle pedal. I know she’ll never admit it, but Kim is proud, and unable to refute the hard proof of my generally cautious driving disposition. Also, I rented a courtesy car to use while my car was in the shop. They gave me an Element. What a…soulless little box that thing is. At least they didn’t give me an Insight.

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden; one which breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without cease.
But with what? With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them, what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock, they will all reply:
"It is time to get drunk!
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, poetry, or virtue, as you choose!"
Charles Baudelaire




















Okay, I’m proud of you and your silly, little brakes. Can you stop demonstrating to me over and over again how well you brake going 900 mph around corners now? I’m running out of Xanax.
Love you! Mean it!
