Ruination Day

As you may or may not know, April 14th is the day that the Titanic sank as well as the day that Lincoln was shot. It may now also be the day I rented my apartment and sold my Ducati. I had an 'open house' which made me realize how much of a deal I'm getting on this apartment. Within 2 minutes of walking thru the door people were asking how they can get it. I keep thinking I should keep the lease and sublet it for more than I'm paying. Somehow it doesn't seem worth the hassle. Then I had my first showing of the Ducati. I haven't really ridden it since my accident so I took it for a quick spin to warm it up. It was enough to make me hate selling it. And of course the guy immediately wanted to buy it. I'm glad I was able to get my asking price but I was hoping it would take a week or so. I got in one last ride up through Marin and now she's gone. I've never been so depressed to get handed $7000.
