Porsche vs CR-V

Mike and I were the recipients of tickets to the Porsche Driving Experience.
First we drove 4 different Porsches with a driving trainer through the obstacle course. This may be the only time I will ever have the passenger tell me to put the gas to the floor as I turn with squeeling the tires. Next we got to drive on the practice track at the Texas Motor speedway. We were told to stay within 2 car-lengths of the group and we will keep accelerating. If we lag behind the whole group would have to slow down. Mike and I got to speed around the track in 4 other porsches, each rotating as driver and passenger. At one point when Mike started driving I noticed our dome light was on...after a few seconds I realized my door wasn't completely shut and we were screaming around curves at 45 - 80! But I had a helmet...and the door stayed shut although I held onto it just in case. For future reference or for anyone looking for my next birthday present, I want the silver Porsche Cayenne, red interior, velvet steering wheel, paddle shifting, and most importantly nylon loop handles (pictured below).
I'm not saying I'm not happy with the ol' 97 CRV, I'm just saying that I might be able to get the kids to school on time even when we are running late with a Porsche.

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
