The problem I think is when the gains are not equally valuable as what we lost. Relationships rob (for lack of a better word) us of some freedoms but give us other pleasures that we can quantify as more valuable than the freedoms we lost. This is a tough one man but I think is great that you are thinking about it deeply. I think that most decisions we make, as they provide something we did not have like screwdrivers.

Lisa and I spoke on the drive back that our break was a whirlwind of engagement and sharing in a dizzying but very positive way. Our trip last year was so full of things that had to be done that it was nice to have a break this year that was full of nothing but friends and drinks and good conversation. It was great to see you. (Great to see the blog back, too. Maybe I'll give mine a shot again someday). Cheers! Thanks for the thoughts, Jack.

Had 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 but no 2011. Hmmmmm. Maybe she'll let me go. NO. Fine. NSFW, 400 bucks. #$@%. Court house = crazy reduced fine. Court House it is. Didn't make me pay anything there. Fingers crossed they don't mail me a bill. Proof of insurance was stacked in a pile of 110 (no joke) credit card offers. A garbage bag later, insurance card is in the car also! Don't forget the insurance, and for shits sake don't forget to put the proof of insurance in your car. O Tobias, you blowhard!
