Every afternoon, my office gets this wonderfully warm beam of sunshine across my desk and my office chair. It always comes right around 2pm when I’m full from lunch and starting to get a little sleepy. It’s so tempting to just curl up in my chair and take a little nap in my little beam of sunshine. Must resist the cat-like urges…
I think I spent more time this weekend in my car than out of it. I wasn’t on a roadtrip. I was at driver’s school this weekend. It was sponsored by the same club that sponsors all of the autocrossing events that Sean and I go to. It wasn’t a school to go to to learn how to autocross my car, although there were some elements of that in there. It was a school to learn how to drive my car better.
After the day was over, we had gone through 6 different courses including slaloms, 90 degree bends, 180 degree turns, decreasing radius turns, horseshoes that you had to choose a direction at the last minute and a mini autocross course. My consensus after torturing my car for a full day? I love my car. I don’t love it because it’s a sleek convertible that can go fast when I want it to. I love Marvin because it handles well and reacts quickly when I want it to. I have a greater appreciation for what my car can do now. I’m so making our kids take this course when they learn how to drive.
