Morning guys...

In Tulsa today, heading up the pike to joplin in a few hours. Tonight is the big Sign Association banquet. Which is just an excuse to get dressed up, eat a really expensive meal we don't have to pay for, and to pick up my $1k scholarship check.

Oh and free drinks.

my 951, well.... i topped it out in 4th gear. 125MPH, indicated. i felt that going into fifth and continuing the experiment was just asking for trouble.

I've been told by a close mutual friend that the mutual attraction is obvious. We have just been kinda dancing around the 3 issues that have held me up:
1. The 21 year age difference
2. She is technically my boss (at a job I don't need but took because she asked me to)
3. We work for the catholic church and some of the people in admin there are terribly judgemental
Life is a sonofa*****, but I guess there are worse problems.

10 miles! I did it! Now to keep it up, like last season. I need to toss these bearings. Too many miles and it shows.

that would be my respose as well. Stupid neighbor asked last night if I'd let him drive the 911 around the block. do you know how hard it is to keep beer from coming out of your nose swallow and not laugh your butt off at the same time?

Picked up my check. Went to the casino floor, wandered around and lost $19 to the machines. Pointless BS....
