McGritty

Journeyman-1 Last night was the Season 5, 2 hour premiere of "Grey's Anatomy".  The long summer of pathetic reality programming on ABC was finally "wiped out" and I settled in the oasis of Fall Season premieres sans "Opportunity Knocks".

If you missed the episode, watch it on abc.com or read the recaplet on Television Without Pity.

Lets face it, most girls watch "Grey's Anatomy" for the boy eye candy of McDreamy and McSteamy,...mixed in with some good soapy storylines with staff and patients.  But last night, there was a new boy in town, who I've nicknamed, McGritty.  A hot Army surgeon on leave who ends up in the emergency room stapling his own injured leg without local anesthesia.  This had me and I'm sure throngs of other women in America swooning at home.  This new hottie, Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), is Cristina's new love interest, whom he passionately kisses after removing her impaled icicle.  Yum! 

After doing an IMDB search on Kevin McKidd, I found out that he was born in Scotland in 1973.  This was just another reminder that that everyone is younger than me these days...UGH!   Oh well, my inner cougar is now intrigued.

I'm getting my hands on "Journeyman" episodes and I eagerly await more McGritty....purrrrr


When is your car too zippy?

The answer is:  when you get stopped by the police at 2:30AM on your way home from work...

...the details...After a nightmarish work shift I was driving crosstown on 65th, turned on 2nd Avenue and was heading to the 59th Street Bridge.  Some Neanderthal driving a big banged up white van pulled out from a parking spot right in front of me, I "zigged" out of his way and then "zagged" back into the lane.  A police car saw my snazzy driving in my very cool sporty Mini Cooper and stopped me...needless to say, he didn't see the white van that pulled out and cut me off that caused my spiffy motoring skills.  After presenting my driver's license which came up clean, I was sent off with "drive safe" and was soon back on my merry way.  I had asked why I was stopped and as I thought, it was due to my "maneuvering" earlier.

Moral of the story...defensive driving gets you stopped by the police...
Science fact of the story...the jerk that caused your defensive driving is invisible.

Happy Motoring!
