I have been seriously considering selling my Beetle. I even went as far as to post it on Craig's List and Kijiji just to see if I would get any bites (and I did). I don't know if I'm getting bored with it or I just need a little excitement in my life. I've been looking at the Nissan Figaro (again) as well as the Honda Beat. Either one would look good in my garage and I have been having a blast checking them out online. It would cost about 10-15K for a good Figaro and about 5-9K for the Honda. I could afford to buy one but I don't have the room in my garage for another vehicle so the Bug would have to go On the weekend our son was down from Ottawa with his girlfriend and I had to drive them down to Toronto to pick up his car after a night of partying (it was his birthday so it was okay). On the way home I took a wrong turn and ended up heading back to Toronto on the QEW - stuck in traffic. Luckily for me the Air Show was on so I spent the hour it took me to turn around watching it. All the time I had people honking and waving as they crawled past. Now what kind of car attracts that sort of attention? I thought about buying an Audi or a Porsche convertible but when you see someone driving one of those most people think "What a rich snob", and I wouldn't like that. So it looks like the Bug will be hanging around for a while and maybe I'll have to look into a three car garage September 15, 2009: What a beautiful day! I went for my one-hour lunchtime walk and the sunshine really re-charged my soul batteries. It's so nice to get outside and enjoy the fantastic weather that we have been having. Most people have been complaining about what a terrible summer it has been but I've been able to get out almost every day to commune with nature and for me that's huge. And with all of this walking and my veggie lunch diet I'm down to 170. That's a 12 pound drop, nice Hey! Survivor is starting this week and I think The Office is just around the corner so TV is going to get started again. Caroline and I are looking forward to watching a couple of new shows this year, Flash Forward and Trauma. They both look wicked and action-packed. Dexter has been a huge hit with us this summer and we've just finished watching Season 1 and we're about half way through Season 2. What an AWESOME show! September 29, 2009: Oh yeah, on the weekend we did a Wine Cruise out to Jordan Ontario with Jeff and Dorine and had dinner at "Inn on the 20", which is part of the Cave Cellars winery. When we got there we realized that this is where we had parked on a Beetle cruise a few years back. It's a beautiful area and the wine tasting/cheese tasting was just right. Favorite cheese of the day "Brin D' Amour from Italy. Which leads me to my four best things in life. Good Wine, Good Cheese, Good Bread and Dark Chocolate. There might be one more thing or two, I'll have to think about that a bit.
