Well, my friend traded in his SUV for a Mini cooper. It's beautiful thing. But I'm troubled by the shallow envy I'm feeling - after all it's a material thing, a car for pete's sake! - and a diminishing asset as well.

But it's annoying when your friends can afford your good taste and you remain a critic on the bus.

Yesterday, before really considering it, I notified everyone on my email list of this new site. That was probably not a good idea. So if anything written in this 'BLOG' gives an aquaintenance of mine pause, please assume that "Uncle Randy" is a fictional guy, and the writer is not necessarly the same.
