[The Fixer]

I took the Monte out with my 4-year old last night, trying to get to the huge Whiskey Cafe Cruise Night. Well, the first clue that I should've turned around and went home was that the road I needed to cross to get onto Rt 17 was closed with a detour, and the police decided further instructions were not necessary so I wound up in the railyard. Well, we finally made it down to Lyndhurst, only to find out that there was some crap going on at Giants Stadium so the lot was packed with idiots, and the club that runs the show at Whiskey had no one at the gate to let cars in. So, we had to go back and forth between these two jabronie traffic directors; one guy told us to go up to the next entrance, and that asshat told us to go back to the first, and no one let us in anywhere. I finally cut into a side entrance that wasn't blocked off by some knucklehead traffic director, but had to park away from the show cars. Bah.

My son did put it into perspective though. When we finally parked, he could tell I was ticked off, and he just said to me, "Well, at least we're here daddy." What a good kid!
