This week we bid farewell

Our first major purchase as a married couple...the '95 Altima. We

drove her for 11 years. May she rest in peace. In related news, we

have filled in the missing link of suburban living...we had the two

kids and the dog, and now we have the mini-van. I mean we added the

van to the mix, not that we traded the kids and dog for it. Just

wanted to clarify.
