The Bird

Today I was running an errand, which I love to do so very very much. I was going through the post office parking lot. There were some pedestrians so I was going very slow. I notice a woman parked on my right put it in reverse and start backing out, right at me. This woman didn't know what she was doing because she was lighting up a cigarette, and talking on the phone at the same time. I hit the gas to get out of her way, nearly hitting a couple of peds. I didn't honk, I just looked back and gave the woman a mad face. Then guess what she did. Yep, she flipped me the bird. If I wasn't a good boy respecting women and all that I probably would have returned the gesture. I stopped to mail my letter and she whipped around me while hitting the gas excessively.

Seriously, what is wrong with people? If I were to screw up like she did, I wouldn't have been that way about it. I would have smiled sheepishly and waved. Oh well, that's just me I guess.

Introduction

I guess I will introduce myself to anyone who may be reading my blog. My name is Drew, I am 34 years old, I am six feet tall 265 pounds. Okay, I'm a tad stout, but lets not dwell on the negative!

I love baseball, riding trains and spending time with my lovely wife Camille. I also enjoy doing stuff for Camille. I also like to fix my cars and work out my abs. I speak Spanish which I learned on my LDS mission to southern CA ('93-'95), and... okay, well, that's about it.

When I'm not doing that other stuff I'm probably sitting down and being out of shape. I am the first child out of five in my original family, with one sister and three brothers. Ironically, I am the shortest brother, with the youngest being tallest. I don't know why I included that tidbit of info, other than the fact that it is a constant source of pain for me. I can still pin any one of my brothers though, so I am the toughest. I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I outweigh them all by at least a hundred pounds each.
