Actually not really. It's about five in the morning now and I just finished a fantastic presentation for my worlds religion class. Except it's way too big to upload to the website I need to upload it to. And I feel terrible cause what I originally created was a work of art. So, I'm posting my work of art here... Watch it if you want, if you don't, you really don't have to.

So.... I'm a Bit of an Idiot
With less than 7 days until I test with the Sheriff's department, I decided it would be a good idea to start running on a physical track (with the help of my lovely wife) to get an accurate measure of how much I need to get my time down. Tonight I drove out to the track while talking to my wonderful mother (whom I love very much) and while distracted with my parting words of, 'I'll call you back, I'm gonna go break the law for fifteen minutes', I locked my keys in my car.
Back story on breaking the law. I called the school who owns the track I was to go running at. They transferred me to the assistant athletics director who gave me permission to run on the track after 2:15 PM. I was like great! So I showed up at the track the same day and about once every fifteen feet there was a giant white sign posted that stated that any one caught using the fields without express written permission may be prosecuted for trespassing. I was like.. great! It's now 5 PM, the dude's probably already gone, so I ran anyways. That was yesterday. Today I didn't get to the track until closer to 8 PM. And so I broke the law again.
After realizing I locked my keys in my car, I called Chrissy who generously brought me the necessary tools for breaking into my car. A screw driver or two, a hammer, a coat hanger, and pliers. I then proceeded to, with the help of Chrissy, bend and reshape the wire, pry my window open and spend the next 40 minutes or so re-bending the wire to attempt to open the handle of my car from the inside. Mind you, it's near winter, at 7000 feet elevation, and... oh yes... the wind was blowing. Needless to say I had numb hands, a nose-cicle and a cold unhappy wife (whom I love dearly and am so very grateful for).
Moral of the story. Don't break the law. Especially while training to become a law enforcement officer...
On a side note, I am warm and cozy sitting at home with Duchess Aurora snuggled in my arm :-)
