I ask for money and this is what you send me. Nice.

Of course since my boy Scott is spending his days in St. Kitts now I guess I’ll cut him some slack.

However it is THE WOMAN’s birthday today. Or as she puts it “the XXX anniversary of my 19th birthday.” Which is mouthful to say but keeps me out of the dog house when I phrase it that way. We’ve got a nice little night out planned for tonight that doesn’t involve the kids. Funny how “nice night” and “no kids” goes so well together in a sentence.

Speaking of THE WOMAN she’s been relegated to a rental car for the last few days while some body work is being done. Ironically enough, she was given a Dodge Caliber to drive. The same car that I own. Almost. Being a rental it comes with an automatic transmission as opposed to the 5-Speed version that I bought. My car is a great ride — fast, nimble, fun to drive, and all of those other adjectives. Her rental — sucks. The automatic transmission is slugish and lurches on every shift. Which is pretty much what all the reviews have said. But really, what great car ever came with an automatic transmission?
