Jumpstarting the Day

Guess who forgot to shut off an interior light last night?



Never a good thing to wake up in the morning and realize that your battery is dead. Especially when you're trying to make it in early to get work done before 1) a three day training session that will take you away from your desk and 2) leaving for vacation next week.

Thank goodness Andrew had not left for work and came to my rescue. And thank you Dad for buying me jumper cables, even if I had to lug them back from Japan. :)

Another Milestone

My car hit 100,000 miles today:



Despite having tires that only last two years (or is that the driver's fault?), the Subaru Forester has treated me well the past 6.5 years.

It doesn't hold grudges for the two dents I've put in it.

It can handle the fact that I refer to it as a soccer Mom car.

It's taken me as far as Philadelphia.

It's tailgated at BC football games for years.

It's even gone to Montreal, Canada which is amazing considering I've never crossed the Canadian border (you can thank Amy for that one).

Here's to another 100,000 miles!
