Drove my car a bunch this weekend, and to work today. It's nice to have
it back.
My three kids were sitting in it taking turns at the steering wheel while
I was working on something else. I then noticed that they were each
singing the James Bond theme song and pretending they were James Bond. I
found that kind of funny as I would never really associate driving the car
with James Bond. Sure I know and have seen Dr. No, and repeatedly watched
the chase scene. And, I have been all excited about the possible finding
and purchase of that Dr. No car. And, I take pride that the first car
driven by Bond was an Alpine (even if Rootes forced Broccoli and crew to
pay for it). But, somehow, as I grew up, I associated Bond with Aston
Martin. Oh well. I guess it's because I've told the kids that Bond drove
an Alpine and the only two JB movies they've seen at this point are Dr. No
and Goldfinger. I guess I've screwed them up for life!
Be beaming you,
Jay
