Default A Funny Thing ....sorry long

A funny thing happened to me on my drive home today . As I'm celebrating my 41st B-Day today my mood was light and I just wanted to get home . I am on the entrance ramp to the Garden State Pkwy with a few cars ahead of me , so I'm taking the ramp curve tight so I can feel it . As I reach the main road I put my left signal on and start to accelerate , when this girl in a Honda Civic pulls into the lane in front of me , so I brake some but I'm still on her tail . After she gets past traffic she changes lanes and as I pass her she gestures to me that I'm #1 in her book , So of course I return the gesture . I look in my rear view and notice she's holding her fingers about 1in apart , it hits me , that's the small appendage sign . I slow down 'til she's next to me and I gave her the rolled fingers to the mouth and poke my tounge and stretch my cheek (you guys know) and pointed to my lap , she returns that gesture also , I just had to laugh and let her zip past me and everyone else . Guess you had to be there .

My birthday too...didn't drive the vette today but piling up points with the wife. She's been in the hospital since Monday. She's getting better but docs still don't really know what's wrong. Anyway have been driving the DD to the hospital where the parking garage really has super small spaces and gauranteed door dings. She said she'll make it up to me when she gets out. I just want her to get better and get home.

Had some cake and ice cream when I got home.
