Happiness

Right now, it’s a Shiner, shuffled to the back of the icebox and forgotten, only to be rediscovered in a chilled to an unbelievable state of chilldom perfection.

Mmmmm.

Sportin’

Man, what a great time of year. This afternoon, University of Nebraska football. A squeaker, 20-17, for the Big Red.

Tonight, the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 from Richmond. SWMBO and I had season tickets for RIR for a couple of years; Richmond is a great facility,and a highly recommended race venue.

As we age, however, we can’t stay in an $89/night1 Hampton Inn, and venture to a track in daylight, only to leave in the dark, and be at the Waffle House at 3AM for two nights in a row (Busch & Cup Race).

But aging has its benefits, too; tonight we have the Sharp AQUOS, DirecTV, and HotPass.

Not to mention, Corky’s ribs, imported via QVC. And Shiner’s. Mmmm … Shiners.

Enjoy your weekend.

1 Conveniently priced at $170 on race weekends

Safely in Raleigh

Arrived safely a little before 5PM. This tour is powered by a Chevy Monte Carlo; it’s a sweet ride. It was also the first serious usage of the new GPS device. Diana, I call her. In spite of her persistence in steering me toward I-95, i held firm to my no I-95 policy until we were south of Richmond. She was quite adept at navigating the 522, when it was clear that the 95 was out.

I’ve had a bite to eat, and plan to relax with a couple of Shiners1 in front of the one-eyed monster.
