5000 Miles a Year

During Ruuku's get together dinner, Jack said he thinks he saw my car at the parking lot. He asked if I still drove the Sidekick, and he was amazed.

Then after dinner, I had to go back to the restaurant to give Henry his car keys (he left it in a bag he gave me). And Ruuku also was surprised that I still had the same car.

Hmm.
But for three years, I lived two blocks from work & carpooled w/ Sat almost every day.

And for the next four years, I lived about 3 miles away from work so I hardly drive more than 5,000 miles a year. (Yes, I'm in the 1-5000 mile price point for my car insurance)

And if I need to drive far, I just rent a car.

My car is 14 years old & it has 75,000 miles on it.
Not bad, right?
There's no need for a new car yet.

I'll buy a new car when I win the lottery or something.
Oh yeah, I have to go pick up the free ticket I won for the scratch-off lottery ticket.

Three BBQ in Five Days

So for Prince K's farewell dinners, I'm forced to eat three BBQ dinners in five days.

Friday was Manpuku.
Monday was Chosan Galbi.
Tuesday was Manna.

This is waaaaay too much meat.
I'm going to turn vegetarian for the month of March.

And Prepping for a Pink Slip Party

We were planning to have an industry get together this weekend, but I didn't have time to put together an Evite, so it's now scheduled for next weekend.

Evite going out soon.
