It has begun. Today was the first day of this long week of racing. Long because the days are so. I get up at 5:30 and might finish at 6:30. That's a short day. A couple of days will be longer with the big race day going 1000 miles or 10 hours, whichever is first. Usually it's the 1000 miles. Which means getting up at 5:30 a.m. and finishing maybe around 9:15p.m. or thereabouts. Then there's the cleaning up and farewell party. I'll sleep in on Sunday come hell or highwater. Anyway, what it all means is that I probably won't be writing for a few days. I'll miss it and you but will be back next week. In the meantime y'all have a great week and remember: stupid should be painful.
