Reading this entry in Scott's weblog reminded me of something amusing that happened to me once.

Nearly two years ago a friend of mine and I drove to Ohio together to attend a bachelorette party of our girlfriend. We rented a big, white car with leather seats, cd-player, sunroof (convertible was too expensive) and spent hours speeding down the PA turnpike singing along to mostly Rush tunes.

As we were packing the car next morning before our long drive back (Yes, we drove all the way to Ohio for one night..) Annmarie went back into the house to get her pillow or some other personal item she dragged along for the trip. I took the occasion to completely repack the trunk.

AM: "What the heck are you doing?"
Me: "Oh, re-arranging things.. you'll be getting out before I"

I was the one who actually rented the car.

AM: "You're such an engineer!"
Coming from a girl who herself is a programmer.. that really means something.
