Thursday, July 16

So tonight I am sitting here with a glass of very cheap Zinfandel, there's some silly little bicycle race on the telly (they are interviewing a "Lance" somebody) and I'm reflecting on how history has a way of repeating itself. Apparently, Jacob had a little fender bender today in the parking lot of the local market. It's just about the 3-year anniversary of Nicholas' pre-college fender bender. Apparently it is a freshman right of passage for young Hanten males; jack up your insurance rates just prior to embarking on your collegiate journey.

The good news is that Jake just backed our truck into some guy who had "parked illegally" behind him. There is supposedly no damage to our truck, which I have yet to verify. The other party has already contacted our insurance agent to repair what Nick calculates to be $22 in damages. I don't think Nick has a particularly good grasp on the state of the auto body repair market.

Anyway, small potatoes. What's another insurance bill?

Side note: Jake just told me he thought Casablanca was stupid. I'm going to hit him in the head.

More tomorrow, I have to go sulk and watch The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

  1. He thought Casablanca was STUPID!!! One of my favorites and, quite possibly, one of the best films ever made. Clearly the accident has jarred his faculties.

    Glad he is well enough to drive, and back into people. It could have been worse!

    See you.

  2. After his exploits with a BMX I an amazed you let him loose with a truck!!! Which one of you got the bump on the head again??????

    As for his opinion of Casablanca, I don't agree with parents hitting their children, therefore I am booked on the next flight, you hold him and I'll do the hitting.
    Seriously isn't right for you to be seen hitting him, think of the extra hospital bills.
    Am off on my holidays tomorrow (saturday) will be gone for 2weeks. You all take care of each other. much love
