Did you know that 500,000 people make their living selling wares on eBay? Apparently, that's the same number of people who are currently employed in San Francisco. eBay is like a city in itself! Disclaimer: I'm not entirely sure if the numbers above are correct.

Two Thursdays ago, Kimmy and I were involved a small fender-bender on our way back from seeing Evita. Well... it wasn't exactly my fender that took the damage, but more like my rear bumper. I guess you could call it a "bumper-thumper". Even though it was minor and no one had been injured, I was a little shaken up by it and didn't exactly do everything I could have done with regards to flagging

Until this year. It appears that it's finally caught up with me. Oh I've gotten the occasionaly sneeze in past years, but it was hardly worth mentioning.

I started playing golf again last Friday... and Saturday... and Sunday. I recently went to the driving range after a six month hiatus from the sport. It was a fun time! I got to swing my dusty clubs again, Kimmy got to try her new ones for the very first time and we just enjoyed the time spent together.
