I almost killed Julie and I on the way to my parents' house this morning. I was enjoying a beautiful Saturday morning, thinking about fun from the night before, when I blew a stop sign and flew across Illinois 72 on Walker Road going about 60 mph. I am usually a very good driver, but today I made a really stupid mistake. Julie said don't worry about it, but I think I'll be shaken up for a while.

This would have been the last picture ever taken of us. I promise to be nothing less than vigilant for the rest of my driving days. I will also go no faster than 40.
