Most things we do in our lives are for practical reasons. The Jetta was resurrected for practical reasons. I needed to drive to my place of work, I needed to partake more readily in the activities at church, and I needed to pay for a parking ticket. Take time to consider a definition:
cat·a·lyst (kae tE lihst) n. - A substance, usually used in small amounts relative to the reactants, that modifies and increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the process.
In this situation, a parking ticket was the catalyst for much of the initiative to resurrect the Jetta. Nothing like "trouble with the Law" to kick your butt into action. Now, it's true that my car did sit in front of my house un-insured and un-registered for a little while... but it wasn't hurting anyone. Come on, we all know that the Clovis PD checks their residential streets for un-lawfully parked vehicles more than I check my e-mail!
But it's cool. I'll be alright. Many, many good things came out of the discipline of paying this $50 ticket. This website, for example.
Today, I drove over to my friend Shawn's condominium. We played some poker, and watched some people move a couch. I listened to Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head. Wouldn't it be great to hear their new album?!

You linked your own site...I'm in awe. No sarcasm involved that is just plain cool.
Tomorrow at 5pm he should link to the language pool; for fruition will have come.
I suppose it serves you right for messing with the board and power hungry.
Make that sometime tonight. But I tell ya, the fruits about to explode.
