The Autopia

If you're anything like me, you hate the Autopia. The line is always unreasonably long, the cars are uncomfortable to sit in, the pedal is too hard to hold down for the whole ride, and your kid thinks its more fun to slam the car against the rail down the center than to try and steer with it.

However, if you're anything like me, you'll gladly endure all of that just to see this look on your child's face. Worth it, don't you think?

Welcome Back

Most people who follow this blog already know that the sunshine and roses depicted herein over the last couple of years is, in at least some part, fiction. The problems were many and eventually became too much to live with so a change had to be made. The details of the split are personal... but the result is an ugly divorce. Its been almost a year since the split and it will be finalized in another month. We've got to be breaking some sort of speed record for a 12-month resolution considering how many trips to court and how much bickering there has been. I haven't been posting because I didn't know what to say. Unlike him, I don't feel it is appropriate to air our grievances in a public forum and, with so little else going on in the last year, it doesn't leave much to blog about.

However... life marches on. With regards to my career and home, my options are several. I'm planning on spending the next year figuring out what the hell to do (less if all goes wrong in court next month and I have to scramble). If you're interested in my progress as I leave the past behind and march into the future, feel free to check back once in a while... I'll share.
