After pondering it for another week, I have pretty much decided that I am going to go with a Silver/Ebony RDX with the Tech package.   After driving one last weekend and playing with the voice activated systems, I am completely sold on this fancy little SUV.  Luckily, Jen insists it's a station wagon so I think I will just call it that so I don't feel like I am driving a big ole Sport Ute.      I haven't ordered one yet but I expect I will any day now.

So, lately, I have been getting much more into listening to music.   Nothing new mind you but it occurred that with the ups and downs recently, I have been using music to regulate my moods.   If I am feeling a little down, I'll just pop in something depressing like Cowboy Junkies or Fischer Downers.   Time to feel in a good mood, I just throw in a solid upbeat anthem like Shania Twain's Up!.    I never realized how much I used music this way but now that I do, it's kind of fun to create little musical lineups that take me through a range of feelings as I drive to or from work each day.    I am kind of thinking it might be time to pick up one of those old musical instruments I used to play.
