Today, like yesterday, started with an early morning walk. For some reason lately I have not been sleeping very well and a walk is all the energy I can muster. Kim texted me as I headed out the door and we got to speak for almost an hour. Being two hours ahead has its advantages […]
We had an early breakfast today and made a beeline for downtown for the LA Auto Show. It may be a little known fact but I live with three men who like cars. Bill had purchased early entrance tickets which meant we had run of the place for two hours. Auto shows are nice because […]
This weekend is the annual Frog Follies. Bill and I went again and this year, we bought our good friend, Danny. We’ve been friends for years but our lives have gone in many different directions. He was in the Air Force for a long time and lived all over the world. He retired from the […]
Today is the way we said goodbye to my 2014 Toyota Highlander. I won’t eulogize her but I will say she was a good car. In fact, I called her my good luck car. Despite several mishaps, she served us well and kept us safe. However, all good things must come to an end and […]

It’s been a long time coming but the day finally arrived. Bill got a brand new car! It’s a 2018 Mazda 3 and he couldn’t be happier. For a long time now, Bill has wanted to trade in the SUV and return to car status. Moreover, he wanted to return to a manual transmission. He […]
Since the boys have gotten older and their love of Tonka has matured, Bill thought they’d enjoy the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. While it might seem crazy, we drove up and back this weekend. It was seven hours each way. The driving was shared between Walker and Bill. We rolled in early […]
I’m so grateful to have a car that I love to drive. That’s all.
