Car Woes

Cars can be a real pain.  Unfortunately they are also a necessity for most Americans unless you live downtown in a major metropolitan area.  We have gotten to the point where we don't have car payments but the trade off is that you have to deal with more car repairs.

For instance, I'm probably going to have to pay about $1000 for the latest car issue that I'm dealing with, which doesn't exactly have me doing the irig stomp at guitar center, but I have to keep reminding myself that that is still far less than I would have paid for a car loan this year.

Not always easy to remember and still kind of a hassle but I don't want to be locked into a payment anymore.

Week 10?

So the Browns have a game that matters in a week that has double digits for the first time in over ten years.  Granted, it would only allow them to get back to .500 and be a 1/2 game back in the division, but beggars can't be choosers.  I'll take a late season meaningful game when I can get it.

Here's hoping they pull off a win.

Long Game

It seems that my kids inherited my inability to stick with any one thing for a long period of time.  One minute I am buying them new soccer equipment and the next I'm getting them a kids electric guitar at musicians friend. Or in my daughters' case a old flute from my sister that she is determined to learn to play.  I have no idea how long this particular interest will last but maybe it will go longer because of school band.

Either way I can see clearly where they get it. I am very much a hobby jumper.  I will devote myself to something fully for a while and then jump ship for something else.  I haven't found the secret to long term enjoyment of any one activity yet.
