Anyway, a couple of the guys were interviewing someone, and… Read More

Last week I learned an important lesson about tires. I went to the Mini dealership for my regular service appointment. I expected to get my oil changed and a car wash and be out of there in an hour. However, it got ugly in a hurry. The service chick came over to me and said, "We got your oil changed and the rest of your car serviced, but you have a problem with your tires. There is a chunk of your right front tire wrapped around your axle, and it will be $800 to replace the front tires."… Read More

Well I had a pleasant surprise today.

This morning a mom and her 3 year old son came into my office. The boy was wearing a new Robby Gordon Baja 500 T-shirt. I said "I know where you were this weekend." The mom said no he wasn't but his dad was. The dad was part of a teams pit crew and because his son is a Robby Gordon fan he brought the t-shirt home for him. Before I could say anything else a coworker came out of her office laid her hands on my shoulders and said, "well this is Robby… Read More

I just finished this one and I was wondering "do I put it in my page at the planet or not?" Why not?

Before diving into the Cup talk this week I have to tell you about an excellent culinary adventure I had the other day. For the first time in my life, I made my own salad dressing and it came out awesome. I made a fresh Caesar dressing. MMM..mmmm.The fresh ground garlic just gave it a sublime quality that is unmatchable by the packaged stuff. It was so easy and I would recommend it to anyone. I'm not sure why I got motivated to do it, but it was a fantastic experiment.



I digress.… Read More
