Oops...

Forgot to update you all on my poker shenanigans last Friday. Well, I came in 3rd. Not my best outing, but I didn't suck. My last hand I had an Ace high flush and lost to a full house. I believe I played well. Oh well, there's always next time.

I finally have solved one of the eternal mysteries of our time - namely the one which poses the question "Which is the fastest lane?" Whether it is being in line at the bank, driving in rush hour traffic, or buying tickets to a movie I have come up with the definitive answer: Whichever one I am NOT in!

How does this happen? I need to make a quick deposit into my checking account - a 90 second process. Yet inevitably I find myself behind 2 other people, each of whom need to not only deposit funds in seventeen different accounts, but need to speak to the customer service manager personally because the teller didn't add the numbers up fast enough. 37 minutes later, I move up one spot! Even worse, stuck in rush hour traffic in a car which currently doesn't have air conditioning (nice!), I notice the next lane over moving at a brisk pace. I wait to make my move, suddenly accelerate into the next lane, then slam on the brakes as the traffic comes to a complete halt. I glance over to the other lane and watch as the car 17 places back cruises on by at 65 mph.

Here is Charity. No, that's her name. She was a model/spokesperson for Sports by Brooks and now has her own show titled The Best Years. My opinion? I think she is breathtaking - and has some pretty good charisma on screen.

This is the ultimate relativity puzzle. Forget black holes and string theory and quantum cats. This has them beat.
Whatever lane you're in is NOT the fastest lane. Fact. We all live that truth on a daily basis. So what if you and I and Andrew are in separate cars, each in our own lane on a three-lane highway.
NONE of us would be in the fastest lane, even if God has to warp space and time to make it so.
God hates people who drive fast. God has it in for people who are late for stuff and NEED to drive too fast. And the Devil came up with the idea of more than one lane...just to annoy us all.
