I took my wife's car to Honest-1 Auto Repair in Spring Hill today. A warning light has been saying 'oil change required' for a few months now, but she doesn't drive much. Works from home.

Dobie spends his 20s in L.A., bouncing between temp jobs, and gets involved with a cult member named Venelia. When that ends badly, he escapes to Kuala Lumpur, where he's swept into the orbit of Riva, a secret-agent-in-training.
Dobie next finds himself in Nashville where he marries a Riva look‑alike. When he and a co-worker turn whistleblower against their employer, they end up in Witness Protection.
Dobie comes out of hiding and returns to his hometown, Louisville. He thinks his luck has turned when he wins the lottery. And it might have, had he not taken that money and run for president. Unsurprisingly, that ends badly, too.
Trying to make sense of the universe, Dobie takes the next logical step, writes a manifesto, and hits the road on a speaking tour. The universe -- or at least its representative in the form of a little blue alien named Semmy -- is not helpful.
While evading Colonel Charonne and his enforcer, Major Watson, Dobie's luck takes a turn for the better upon meeting Kaylie -- the first thing in his universe that actually makes sense.

That's all I wanted to say. :)We had a shortened visit with Elizabeth today because we had to first stop by the pharmacy and get some Ben-Gay and ibuprofen for my sore neck.

We visited Elizabeth again today. We caught her when she was in the music room with all the other kids in her age group.

Just some random notes this morning.
There's a real stray dog problem in Russian cities; or, at least Moscow and Astrakhan. A lot of people even apparently let their dogs run loose. They're almost all large dogs. The small ones don't survive. There's a real "man purse" problem, too. Many men have ... read more
