The funmeter has moved out of the redzone for awhile. After a couple of fun and frantic weeks of winning tickets and attending concerts, life has taken a step or two back.
Last week I had to go to town to rescue Megan. She had left her car lights on in the morning and returned after class at noon to find a car with a really dead battery. I drove down to the light rail station, calling AAA on the way, and sat with her until the battery guy came. I followed her home to make sure she got there OK. She did.
Yesterday as I started the van to go to the grocery store, it sounded a little sluggish - so I wasn't totally surprised that it wouldn't start at all this morning. Dead battery. Another call to AAA, I love those guys, and 45 minutes later we were on our way to school.
One of the teachers had been freaking because I wasn't there at 7:30 and she needed me. She was surprised that I wasn't upset over the dead battery thing and that I was laughing about it. Good grief, it really wasn't a big deal. Nobody dead, nobody hurt, no damage done, just a little late to school/work.
Lucky I'm blessed with a funmeter that's easily pegged.

funmeter time in baja
we had a great time in baja over spring break. the weather was good, sunny and warm, but the wind was wicked from sunday thru thursday. on friday we were able to go fishing, caught two yellowtail and a triggerfish. only brought home one yellowtail because a sealion got the other one.
enjoyed the trip up to the mission at san javier. it was a long and very bumpy bus ride up and down the steep, rocky, narrow road. a little bit much for the last day of a vacation, but interesting nevertheless.
the trip home was an adventure. 1/2 hour late leaving loreto, bags delayed an hour in customs, missed our flight out of LA and had to wait in line 1+ hour to find that we couldn't get confirmed tickets and had to fly home standby. we got out 2 flights later at 4:45. getting on a plane never felt so good. except for that time we got out of cozumel/cancun on one of the last flights before a hurricane. that was on standby too.

pegging the funmeter
the funmeter is in the redzone....
ever since the week of my birthday. Winning all those concert tickets: kt tunstall, bodeans, big head todd and the monsters. And going to the David Gray concert was amazing. I'm not sure what my angels were trying to tell me. Maybe to have more fun, maybe happy birthday, maybe all of the above.
I read somewhere that 50 is the new 35 and I agree with that. I haven't felt this good since I was 35, emotionally anyway. The physical could use a little work and with that work would easily be as good as 35 was.
I'm just glad to be back in the redzone, it's been a long time.
