We spent some time trying to get Rachel's car on the road (surprise major snow came before we put it in storage for the winter), but since the ground is 100% ice, no luck at all. I'm pretty sure I've shortened the life of those tires, but, like most of my ill-conceived notions, at least it was fun.
A few years ago I got The Thomas Crown Affair on DVD, purely for one reason: the gorgeous catamaran that he capsizes just for the fun of it — not only do I love sailing (although I've only sailed little 16' Lazers and things like that) and big cats, I really like people having fun at the expense of high end toys… I think one of the real shames is that when people get rich they forget that they are buying toys and treat them as some sort of messed up status symbol.
Either way, thanks to Rob's generosity I will still be making it to the engagement party.
PS. And yes, I know that old Ferdinand is rolling over like mad in his German grave right now.
