This morning I was occupied by ANOTHER flight physical. Apparently the 4 hours of lab work I did in my health screening a few months ago was not current enough for them to issue me an FAA medical certificate without repeating everything. I feel poked and prodded.

Tonight, I am going to do something completely new -- I am going to drills with the local volunteer EMT's. I According to the friend who recruited me to check it out and see if its something I want to pursue: We're doing a a 1050 Major (bad car accident) simulation with the fire side of the house. I'm really psyched. EMT training is something I've been interested in for a while. It seems like a good skill to have and a good way to get involved in the community. So, we'll see how it goes.

And in other news, Irwin bought a convertible. The good news is, he didn't by the yellow Toyota MR2 Spyder I have been lusting over for two years now. A Spyder that I could afford if I just forgo a down payment on a house (financially responsible? or fun? always a question. and boring me goes for financially responsible). The bad news is, he got an even COOLER car than my Spyder (and more expensive). Its beautiful. And red. And a roadster. If I hadn't already "been there, done that, could write the book about why it didn't work" with the whole dating Irwin thing, well... the car could be convincing. So this means, I need a listing of all roadster owners in Houston. What can I say? Call me superficial.



Here's some pictures, for those curious about the red, shiny car.
