Cranky

Diane spent much of last night coordinating with the Burgins, and then buying Matt’s plane tickets to Nicaragua. She found a less expensive leg from Miami to Managua on Taca Airlines, and needed to strike that hot iron. Two thoughts: Diane shoulda been a travel agent, but I suppose you could agrue that she already is. The more I dwell on this trip, the more I agree with Alternate.

Two days ago Matt drove his BMW to the dentist's, but he needed a jump to get home.Yesterday, Matt drove to school for the first time, checked on his prized possession during fifth period, and at the end of the school day, needed no help at all. Seems to me the more he drives that snazzy white box, the better it works.


There is an old lady from Boston
Who goes out to Scottsdale quite often
To meet an old friend
Play the slots and pretend
That they're 20 as they cruise with the top down.


This morning we’ll drop it off at Goodyear for a set of tires to replace those thirty year old treads.

So where are Se~nor Miller and Diane going on their vacation while Matt's down south? I'll bet it's nice and warm in Managua at this time of year!

Great news! Good for Matt and His ancient box.

Esteli (Esteh-LEE) should be a fabulous, eye-opening experience (almost as nice as the parental one from their oceanfront resort villa http://www.bahiapezvela.com/location.htm just across the border on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

Unlike the saga of His Ancient Box, which is kinda eye-closing -- as in wincing. But with new rubber (and not just the tires, Dad -- all hoses, etc.), the fear factor oughta diminish notably. Now about that hard rattle in the head pan at 800 R.P.M...........
