Envy is sinful
Yes, envy is a sin...it's even mentioned in the 10 commandments. Cindy saved me from sin by reminding me of the discomforts of air travel these days.
The following from Evren was on my 'puter this morn:  Ruki and I decided to jump off the deep and do something crazy this weekend. On Wednesday a good friend called and said they had extra tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix Historic races, and would we like to come?.... he also very conveniently has an office in Monaco by the harbor, with a balcony.. SO, here we are! Feeling a bit guilty for leaving the kids and work, but I think it’s going to be amazing. Lots of FIA race cars from the 40’s to the 70’s…. J J J Historic Grand Prix of Monaco hugs, Evren + Ruki

I am very glad to see your car has a good home. You absolutely sold to the right guy. Now go out and smoke the tires on that Bullit.

And yeah, I'm jealous as hell (travel discomfort or no) of Evren.

My daddy told me something when I was young that I still cling to:
There will always be someone who can run faster and throw farther. There will always be someone with more money, a bigger house, fancier cars. Don't envy them, study them to see how they did it. |

I'd go to that if I had to be strapped onto the landing gear like a stow-away from Zimbabwe. Jesus, man. You only go around once...
