One of the first images to enter my brain last Sunday morning came to me courtesy of an email from Living Social. They were offering a deal for Yanni's Too, a place known for its fried calamari, and the picture accompanying the sales pitch became my obsession and inspiration for the day.

A pass and a fail
I had my car inspected this week. It passed without any issues. I was a couple of weeks late on taking care of things, but my reasons were understandable.
