My mother appears to be on the road to recovery thanks in no small part to the lovingly prepared food my brother has been making for her now that she can eat again. She is scheduled for an additional surgery tomorrow to remove a tangerine sized abscess. With any luck that will be the last procedure and we can look forward to her full recovery.
I gained access to an initial set of photos from last weekend’s Tough Mudder. These memories will last for a lifetime. The pain of my cracked rib should abate in a couple of months.

Ordered on September 18 of last year, I picked up my new Audi e-tron after work today. Thus far it has met my expectations and should help make my 2+ hours of commuting each day a little more tolerable (think front seats with built in massage function).
My very first car, a Triumph Spitfire, was also blue although that would be hard to figure out from the black and white photos which remain. With every new car purchase I pause to reflect on my former cars and their significance to me. Here is the list in chronological order.
Triumph Spitfire (blue) ; first love
Triumph GT6 (yellow) ; second love
Alpha Romeo Spyder (white) ; first true love
Alpha Romeo GTV (red) ; spare parts for above
Porsche 944 (red) ; first properly engineered car
Porsche 944 (black) ; more of a good thing
Nissan 300 ZX Turbo (red) ; the summer fling
Lexus SC 300 (gray) ; first grown up car, hated it
Mercedes SL 500 (green) ; passion reignited
Mercedes ML 320 (silver) ; first family car
Audi A3 (silver) ; my second true love
Audi Q5 (silver) ; my off road darling
