Ongoing quest for meaning and purpose

Highs and Lows

Last night Lisa and I trekked 60 miles one way to LA to eat dinner at my favorite cuban restaurant, Versailles, with my favorite couple, Thomas and Erika. It was so worth it! We had a fantastic dinner full of good conversation and lots of laughter. We even made it to LA in about an hour instead of the usual two hours or more. It was awesome.

Until we get home to find out that Lisa’s car was towed out of our parking lot. It seems that the reigning parking Nazi’s decided to strike. Apparently you have to display a visitor parking pass to be there. When we received the passes we were told that they only had to be displayed if the car was going to be there overnight.

I mean we have small group peeps park there every Monday. Tons of friends show up at any given time and leave within a few hours. For heaven sakes, Lisa had her car parked there all weekend without a tag (I completely forgot about the rule). So it was completely random and you are given NO warning. It cost $130 to get it back. I feel SO awful. UGH!

One good thing about Ohio, lots of parking.
