fall is here, feels like old times

Sunday morning I rolled out of bed, put on some clothes, and went outside into the chilly air. I pulled out my girlfriend's Nissan, jacked it up, and changed the oil. First time I've rolled out of bed and went out to work on a car like that since I lived out in the country, and drove an 18 year old Honda Accord. The car had over 200,000 miles on it, and I had to work on it almost every weekend just to keep it running, keep driving to work all week.

The air was frosty and damp, and where the sun hit you it felt very warm. Good, good, good feeling. Made the coffee taste good. An hour later I was all done and felt like I had accomplished something. Good way to start a day :)

remember fun?

Well, in spite of the Economy, my boss took our crew out for an evening of fun. We drove go karts and spun each other out and rammed each other into walls. We played laser tag in a place called "LASERTRON", it was very '80s. We giggled like fools. When shooting folks with a laser failed, I hugged their ankles and took them down. We played lame video games. We shot hoops and got tickets. We ate bad pizza. I hit my apexes. I found that one of the apexes was in the middle of the track. One of my cohorts that I don't get along with shot me with his phaser and I drove my sprint car inside him in a corner for a fantastic collision. Remember to have fun :)
