Had an Epiphany on Friday Night

Above is the moment it all fell into place.

There were sticky notes and Sharpies all over my kitchen, and if you were watching me I probably looked like a crazy person, muttering to herself, scribbling furiously, and hands over my head that moment when it all clicked into place.

Below is the actual epiphany, the one thing it all came down to.

I’ve had some good ideas over the years, but this one might be my most genius yet #NoDramatics

I know it makes no sense to you, but this is all I’m okay with saying for now.  You know how jinxy I am.

Stand by.

 

 

Feeling Pitiful about Your Life? This will Fix That

This is a boat from Cuba, that landed on the shore of the Florida Keys.

13 people on board travelled 85 miles in this mess to escape Cuba.

Apparently the deal goes – if a Cuban can make it across and set foot on US soil, they get to stay and the government gives them $10,000 to start a new life.

Imagine being stuck for days in this thing, not knowing you will make it, and even if you do, you what… start a new life from scratch, in another language, with what little belongings that fit on your back?

Feel like whatever was bothering you is less dramatic now? Good.

If not, try my line here.

 

 

Home from Florida

Great time, with great jokes I cannot begin to explain.

How much to ride the grouper? If you saw my brother and I acting this out in real life you’d roll your eyes, and we’d not notice through the laughing.

Ahhh Florida, where the cars are clean.

And home of South Beach, where some BFFs live.

That’s Tony and Hector, friends for over a decade.

Bottom right is when we met up in Niagara Falls, with as much laughs as the time Tony and I met up in North Dakota.

South Beach is also home of the News Cafe, where you should absolutely go. Open 24hrs and right on Ocean Drive (#800), the people watching is extraordinary.

Go sit at the main bar and during the day ask for Ashraf, during the evening ask for Hector, and tell them I sent you.

Look, a rare moment I’m sitting still.

Lasted about ohhhh as long as it took to take this, plus 3 minutes.

 

 

Keeping an Exotic Clean at an Auto Show

Speaking with Dale Courville, the gentleman behind keeping both Ferrari and Maserati polished at this year’s Canadian Auto Show.

Those aren’t dealer cars but shipped direct from the factory,
run through a pop-up wash, then everything is pre-stolen.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

The ending – where he uses his access to turn the bullied kid into the class VIP.

If you’re in the Southern Ontario region, Dale also has a mobile car wash, and does a ton of the exotics you see around Toronto, as in, your Civic will be in good hands. Here’s his site – PrecisionDetail.ca

And if you’re unfamiliar with going to a detailer, here’s an old column of what to do and say.
