LIFE'S LITTLE PLEASURES

I like to play hard and work hard. Today was mostly work and filled with the mundane stuff that we all have to manage. The service light came on in my Mini Cooper a few days ago, and I don't like to ignore that. So I handled two tasks that were in the same vicinity. A doctors appointment for a routine check up was one.  And my car also needed a routine check up - new spark plugs, alignment check, all the usual.

The fun part about going to the dealer is I get a loaner. (I have a warranty.) Of course, I chose a hot little Mini Coup, Sport, which is the turbo charged Mini, very sporty two seater. It's a 2014 and unfortunately they only had an automatic. I own an automatic Mini Sport because I would definitely have gotten a few speeding tickets over the last 4 years had I originally bought a 5 speed. But 2 days with a turbo charged Mini Coup - how much trouble could I get into? I know what you're thinking, and no, I did not get a ticket, but I did have fun hugging those corners, and going just a little over the speed limit! Entering onto the freeway safely, but with great panache, like any self-respecting crazy person in a cute little hot rod. What the heck, gotta live a little. And driving a car like that makes you feel young, especially if you're sporting your Italian, Ray Ban sunglasses. Ahh, life's little pleasures!

Onto another one of life's little pleasures - reading in bed!

Good night, sleep tight and thank you!!  God Bless!   Aleta
