She took me on a run from MINI of Baltimore County to the Sovereign Bank Stadium to parade with about 60 MINIs around the field before the game. Then we got nicely fed in The dealerships huge Skybox and watched the York Revolution play the Long Island Ducks. Great day!

Yesterday, Oliver took my friend Sandy and I garage saling...we thought we would be less likely to go nuts if we didn't take the pickup. We certainly found out that we can fit a LOT into the back of the MINI. We had room for more but, ran out of steam after several dud stops.

She made me Today when I gave her her Friday Night Drink, she likes the Good Stuff!! I hadn't driven her for a solid week in the last 3 weeks, 2 weeks while on Vacation, then a week home recouperating from a fall I took while on vacation, so from Sept. 21 to Oct. 15th she was only driven once to Work, Dr., and home and then she patiently sat in the garage, made me each time I opened the door!!

He made me grin. Had two people do double takes on my wheels while stopped at a light and give me approving nods. Kinda funny cuz I still do double takes - especially on days like today when he was just cleaned THOROUGHLY yesterday.

The Mini just got me out of a bind. Was within a few feet of getting run off the road by a Semi hauling a bunch of pipes. Luckily, the Mini's got a little pep in her step.

I just went and bought toys for the various Christmas toy drives coming up. In Canada, Zellers stores are closing to make way for Target to move in. All toys are 50-80% off the lowest marked price.

A BMW Alpina B7 pulled out in front of me on a twisty road today and put on a show of acceleration. We kept up without even trying.

After a rough time with the storm was happy to enjoy the sunshine top down and stereo blasting.

Betty was a real trooper. She took us to see neighborhoods that were devasted and to get coffee (couldn't live without it) kept us warm kept our cell phones charged. And most more importantly took us to a hotel where we had a hot shower and warm room.
