Candy was thrilled to get her car earlier than expected, since I got home on Saturday night instead of Sunday. (Sure, she claimed that she was happy to see me but I know the truth.) We waited until daylight to take this picture and you can still see that “FIAT Grin.”

A feisty yellow FIAT 500 Sport joined our family on Friday. I picked it up from FIAT of Salt Lake City after an on-line chat with Shane revealed a car on their lot configured just like Candy and I had been prepared to special order.

Now I want to start running and the calcified structure within my skull nudged me and suggested that a little research might be in order before I hit the pavement.

Kids of all ages love airplane rides, especially when they get to be in the front seat of a small plane and get to take the controls and do some of the piloting. Have you ever heard the buzz of an airplane overhead, stopped what you were doing, and stared up at the plane? Perhaps [...]
