Missing Christopher

As much as NOT having an incredibly tall, usually grumpy teenager around the house should be refreshing, I find myself really missing Christopher. I was wandering around the house after dinner and stopped in front of a bookcase, looking at a shelf full of his collection of history books. I saw his two books by British historian Antony Beevor and recalled discussing them with him on a similar evening after dinner. I picked one up to read. Maybe it will keep my mind of his absence.

I received the flyer for the local MG car club’s “Tulip Rallye” in April. Chris & I have done this run every year since 2004. I’ll have to find a new navigator for this year’s event. 🙁

Above is Chris biding his time on a Tulip Rallye segment with minimal navigation somewhere on Whidbey Island a few years back.

A New Jag!

Thanks to friend and client David Kingsbury I now have an FHC to make a matched pair with my OTS. OK, so it isn’t the same scale as my other Jag, but who cares? 😉

I actually have a nice collection of toy cars in my office… a D-type Jaguar, a Ford GT 40, a Cunningham C4R, a Jaguar XJ220, a Lancia Stratos, and a Chaparral 2. Now I have an E-type too!

Thanks David! You made my day!

65E gets “Pixared”

I couldn’t resist… Here is my son Nicholas, enjoying an ice cream break on our father/son roadtrip in 2003 with the 65E somewhere in NW Colorado… but somehow the Jaguar has gained a bit of personality!

Here is where I learned how to do it: How to do the “Cars” Photoshop.

Took me about 20 minutes. Very cool. What do ya think?
