Officially a Georgian
On Friday I officially became a Georgian when I tearfully turned in my California driver's license and exchanged it for a Georgia driver's license. I figure I waited as long as I could, considering the Georgia state website says you're supposed to change it within 30 day of moving here and its been almost 9 full months now.
I've been able to do a few fun things recently. On Friday night, I went to my second concert ever. Luckily a friend had gotten tickets from a local station so it was free. We saw Paramore. It was pretty good, but I didn't really enjoy the first two bands that played, and I have no idea who they even were.
Yesterday I was able to participate in our employee track day at Barber Motorsports in Birmingham, Alabama. It was awesome. Lots of fun. We got to do a few lead and follow laps on the track in a 911, and even a hot lap as a passenger with a professional driver (they go a lot faster than we did). We also took a Cayenne S offroading and saw its capabilities. I'm not sure any sane person would take a $58,000 car and do what we did. We also got to do autocross in a Boxster, a skid pad in a 911, and tested ceramic brakes on a Carrera S, and did some exercises in a Cayman. I can now say that I have driven a car in each of our product lines. Some of the activities were kind of hard to do with one hand but it was still a lot of fun. If any of you ever get the opportunity to partcipate in something like this I would say that you should take advantage of it.
Tomorrow I go in for another checkup on my wrist and I'm really hoping that I won't have to get another cast put on. I'm ready to get back in shape and to start playing basketball again, its been too long (over 2 months).

No Cali driver license! That's a sad day... Kenny lost his a while back and so had to get a Utah one. I think he about cried.
And I'm seriously jealous - I so want to drive a bunch of porsches around. You've got some sweet perks at that job.
I'm just jealous. Well not about the Georgian thing. The Porsche thing. Sweet.
If I had to trade in my California driver's license for that opportunity, I'd do it. You are now my hero.
