Buddy Rice drank the milk today.

Oh, how I envy him. Oh, how I would like to feel the cool, pure milk pour down my parched throat, and wipe the drops of milk off my face with the gloves of an Indianapolis 500 champion.

Of all the meals I have eaten, all the drinks I’ve drunk, none is more valuable nor coveted by me, than the milk served at the end of that race.

On a side note, a pox on that SOB Emerson Fittipaldi for pushing away the milk to drink orange juice. I hope you liked your thirty pieces of silver. Bah!(changed, of course I meant Emmo, I just had a brainfart, No offense, Arie)

Nice to see an American win. Nice that it’s Rahal, a racer I always respected, and Letterman, who is an old Hoosier from way back, and a great team.

I was pulling for Helio, but then, he has two victories under his belt, maybe it was time. There will be other indies, Helio is just so much fun to watch win!

What a great year.

I’m not into sports. Soccer leaves me flat (though I was forced to play it when I was in school) Baseball, basketball, football. Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care. Oh, I’ve spent many a Thanksgiving afternoon sleeping on the couch while otrhers watched some game or another, but me, i just don’t care.

As a general rule, I do not consider it a sport which doesn’t result in the death of some woodland critter destined for the dinner table.

Also, as a general rule, I do not watch auto racing, not that I’m not interested, but a lot of racing is about being at the track, more so, anyway, than watching on TV. So I don’t get too heavily interested.

Having just been through an experience (angiogram) that I’m not anxious to repeat, I have some things in my life I’d like to examine.

For instance: My eating habits and lack of exercise have been known by me to be less than optimal. I’ve been hearing eat less, exercise more, for many years. Good sound advice that nobody tells you HOW to accomplish.

On the good side, I’ve already quit smoking and seem to have survived it’s effects relatively unscathed.

On the bad side, I’m currently dealing with a great deal of stress.

I have an incredible and understanding boss, and he helps me where he can.
I don’t know if he can do enough to de-stress my current position. I hope he can, I hope he does, because I LOVE my job. I also love the people I work with, they are some of the best in the industry, bar none. An incredibly talented and decent bunch of folks. I am proud to call even the worst of them my friends.
