ent things in our lives. The one term that has stuck around all these years is “Lucy Moment.”For those to young to remember I Love Lucy was a television show that originally in Black and White (yes I said black and white tv) featuring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The comical couple often had to endure Lucy’s crazy antics where she would find herself in unusual and funny predicaments.
This week I had another one of my Lucy Moment’s. Let me paint the picture for you, I arrive at the ME department to pick up their prized 8 seat canopied solar powered golf cart. This cart is the one with the white marine leather seats, revved up engine and hunter green canopy that screamed sophistication.
After a short instructional session on the use of the golf cart and my promise to return it in the same pristine condition I grabbed the carts keys, started up the engine and headed out the back gated area towards the parking areas.
How-To Drive a Golf Cart
Not more than 25 feet outside of the gate the cart starts to buck and barely managed to make it up a small incline. Terrific, I have had the cart less than 1 minute and I already broke the thing!
I noticed that the ME person is still standing outside and yelled across a large parking lot area that I was stuck and the cart wouldn’t move. He nicely walked over to the cart asked me the issue and I explained that it wouldn’t move one more foot.
He took a look around and then smiled; did you by any chance take off the parking brake?
Welcome to my Lucy Moment.

I smiled lowered the parking brake and headed down the breezeway in the golf cart quite sure that I was now the poster child for every woman driver joke.
