Went for a drive yesterday

J and I went down to Kelso yesterday. We stopped in to see J2 (Ed's significant other) and had dinner with her. It was nice to get to know her better. It seems like they've been together forever but I barely know her. My opinion WRT to J2 has been "she seems pretty cool and seems well matched with Ed" but it was only based on meeting her a couple of times and Ed's apparent happiness with her. I can now proudly say that I have an independent opionion re: J2, and that opinion is that she's interesting and funny and cool. Not that anyone else cares, but I am happy to know her better.
J and I also got to borrow the FiL's Nissan 350z. I drove most of the way, but I didn't get to really "drive" it. I-5 doesn't have any fun twisty bits. It was still fun to drive.
