I've learned my lesson. I will NEVER EVER speed again. I finally drove down 3 hours to Coalinga to make my mandatory court appearance and pay my ticket. My punishment? A fine of $915 and 30-day license suspension. Talk about harsh. But the worst is yet to come...I haven't told my parents yet. I guess I don't have to tell them...but just in case they find out later without me telling them. I think that would make them even more upset. I've gotta think of a good way to ease them into the bad news. Any suggestions?

So my sister's finally settled in and started her first week at Cal...I can't believe she's in college. Makes me feel so old. We went out to dinner last weekend and I asked her if she was homesick and she started tearing. I remember when she would get mad at me chase me around the house with a golf club while I was screaming and laughing. Apparently she didn't think it was funny...I did. Those were some fun times. When did she become such a softie?
