1. “Tammy” — Debbie Reynolds — Oh my god, we’re not start­ing this way, are we? I can’t lis­ten to her any­more and not think of Bobbi Adler. “Light a match when you poopie-doopie.” Jesus.
2. “Love Will Keep Us Together” — Captain and Ten­nille — What a coin­ci­dence. You really have no idea how much I love this song. Really, you don’t.

So my car has been leak­ing like a fuck­ing sieve lately. It’s a wet­ter win­ter than we’ve had in recent years, and I think my sun­roof is plugged up, because every rainy day has left pud­dles on the floor. I mean, real pud­dles. It’s gross. It stinks. I can’t stand it any­more. So V and I drove down to Palo Alto to a shop that he used to use for his Jetta. My god, that was “fun.” We got up at 5 a.m., drove down in the rain, dropped the car off at the shop (which had a sil­ver VW square­back in the shop … awe­some … my par­ents had a red one when I was like six and it was awe­some … I left my crayons in the back seat, and they melted, and my mother yelled at me … ah, mem­o­ries), and hoofed it to Cal­train. Any­way, V trusts the place, and the guy was very friendly, so we’ll see what hap­pens. He seemed to know exactly what was hap­pen­ing. That’s always reas­sur­ing. I can’t stand car trou­ble. It sucks ass. So, because it’s Fri­day of a three-day week­end, I won’t have a car for four days, at least. That’s OK. I cer­tainly need the exercise.

Sat­ur­day, we’re going down to San Jose to the SAP Open. Another trip on Cal­train, even though we planned to take the train when we bought the tix. I like Cal­train, it just doesn’t run fre­quently enough on the week­end. That will be fun. I have really grown to like ten­nis. I kinda know how to keep score, but I under­stand the rules so it’s eas­ier to watch. We’re going to Indian Wells in March, which will be even bet­ter. We’re dri­ving down and stay­ing at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. We stayed at the Ace Hotel in Port­land for Christ­mas in 2008, and it was awe­some. It’s a quirky and unique hotel chain with just a few loca­tions in the US. The road trip should be fun. I’m look­ing for­ward to it. And we’re plan­ning to go to New York in August / Sep­tem­ber for his Grandma’s 75th birth­day and then for the US Open. Ten­nis all year long.
