Just call me a hero

for taking my sons to the Los Angeles Car Show at the LA Convention Center along with thousands of other car-crazed, nacho-eating, beer-drinking, consumer-driven humans. Whoever said the car culture of this grand country is dead should have been there.

I hated every minute of it.

O.K. -- the Aston Martins were beautiful.

  4. You hated it you say, Elizabeth, but I'll bet your boys loved it. Boys and their cars. My three year old grandson collects toy ones like are marbles. He loves them.

  5. I know I know! We go to Monster Jam every year in Tampa with 75,000 beer drinking, turkey leg sobering, cammo wearing southern folk. It's the ONLY activity that sells out Raymond James Stadium if that tells you anything about where I live and it is so popular that they have added a second date which was also sold out last year as well. Oh Mommy! Can we go both nights??? AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

  12. you are REALLY GREAT to have taken them, and seeing as how i'm married to a "car guy" who is also an open-minded, rational and thoughtful person, I can assure you that the two aren't ALWAYS mutually exclusive!
