Timelies all!
We are home from Toronto. The trip took a bit longer than planned, but it wasn't Mr. S's fault.(Gary ate something that disagreed with him, so we had a few extra bathroom stops.) The con was fun.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

The Mazda CX-3 and CX-5 and wonderful crossovers, but they do not make a hybrid.
Yeah, I would have been all over the CX-3, but I feel like I need to get a hybrid. Not just for economy, but for the planet. I have driven a car for 13 years that gets only 19 mpg; I need to make up for that. I wish it came with an AWD option, but I'd rather have the fuel economy than the AWD.
I wish Mazda made their hybrid Mazda3 for the US market, but it's only sold in Japan right now.
I don't think I'm having a mid-life crisis, although the concept of having a bit of extra cash and not having to worry about my parents is rather freeing. (I miss them, of course, but the last several years was a long road.)
In other news, Alaska Airlines found the kindle I left on the plane a few weeks ago. However they found it 2 days after I received the replacement kindle I had ordered from Amazon... :-)
Ah, well. Maybe a present for one of my nieces, then.

Our wings are not tired.
Digestive issues on the road are the worst. Good to hear Mr. S did well on the trip.
Good plan, Matt! Enjoy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My mid-life crisis is wallowing that I will never be in a relationship and being paralyzed about how to make myself happier here, while dreaming about being anywhere else.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I just realized that I have read the last forty or so posts without comprehension and/retention. I'm sorry. Brain fried. Much love to all, sorry I can't be more present.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My mid-life crisis has me considering a job in Portland.

Mine is mostly dreaming about tiny houses and a big piece of land and many friends who also would magically be able to quit their jobs and live in semi-wilderness in tiny houses.

Oh, that is a pleasant vision.

Heh. I wasn't really looking to go there, but a couple of people are really trying to get me to apply for this job.
