A friend of mine just purchased this new car above. Pretty sleek looking huh? Though it’s only one horse-power, it still has quite a bit of pull.

I’m still drooling over motorcycles. Drool, is the keyword there. I really want one, but It might be a little tough driving to a hockey game carrying a 70 pound bag filled with smelly equipment, not to mention sticks [that would be tricky]. Of course, I could always just wear my hockey equipment and get on the bike-though shifting gears with skates on might be just as complicated.

I’ve been holding back on complaining about the sky high gas prices figuring that it’s not going to help bring the prices back down…but HOW CAN YOU NOT say something? I need 2 platinum Visa cards just to fill up my tank these days. [I'd settle for a hit single too  ]

In California people with Hybrid vehicles and motorcycles are allowed to drive in the carpool lanes [the diamond lanes known in some states]. Also, motorcycles are allowed to drive in-between cars. It’s legal…so if you’re in dead-stop traffic,…on a cycle, you get to pass everyone while they sit there and give you dirty looks.  

I guess I shouldn’t complain too much since I try to drive as little as possible…but it certainly isn’t much fun to shell out about $40 for a full tank.

Speaking of hockey equipment…my blade sharpener arrived in today’s mail. The thing look like this…..

…and I had no clue how it actually sharpens the skate. Luckily, I found an online video demonstration:

See in ACTION HOW IT WORKS 

Now I just want to get on the ice and spray some ice

Maybe we should just ice all the roads and hand out Ice Skates to everyone to solve our gas price issues? It would probably be much cheaper.

Oh…thanks for all the nice comments and emails on yesterday’s blog. I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m some sort of ego-monster who is so full of himself that i just love posting as many photos that I can of myself. That’s NOT the case. If anything, It’s a little scary to post photos of yourself and allow people to comment…I’m not THAT full of myself. 

Please know that by publishing self-photos, I’m not fishing for compliments(though, I’ll take what I can get)…but mostly, I use this blog for friends, family and myself to say "hey, here’s what’s going on in my life right now"…and yesterday, it was a photo-shoot. ;-) Funny that "showing the color of my boxers" (as Ralph put it) would cause a stir. Mainly, I was just showing the new hair [or lack of].

UPDATE: Some time ago I posted an entry about my friend Shelly, whose aunt was in need of heart transplant. Shelly emailed me the other day to let me know that her aunt DID GET a heart. Just thought i’d pass that info along.
