One Interesting Aspect about DW
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I don't have a lot of time to post right now. Like most, I have a mountain of work that has piled up on my desk, and I have to leave in the morning on a biz trip. But, I wanted to point out this phenomenon that I hadn't really noticed the last three times that I've been out there.
As I walked around the pits on Saturday, I chatted with a few people and one recurring theme kept popping up in our conversations. Many said, "This really wasn't the best time for me to be leaving...(insert work, or home) but, I came anyway."
Well, I was one of those people. I had every reason in the world to not go. I currently have enough going on at work to keep 3 people busy. But, I went anyway.
So, I Sunday morning, I realized that other than talking to my wife twice on the phone to check on her and the kids, I had no idea what was going on with the rest of the world. I had no contact with my Voice Mail or e-mail.
It was like someone had pushed the giant pause button. Wrench and I stood in the rain on Saturday night and discussed the fact that we had no idea what had happened in the Alabama vs. Georgia game. Our motorhome had a sattelite dish, but the only time we turned it on was to check the weather.
DW will whip your body physically, but it's a great escape and a place to recharge your mental batteries. I remember asking someone on the starting line of the Tag-team HS if he would rather be at work at 10:00am on a Friday. What's better than racing bikes, or splashing through the mud with your buddies? Answer: Nothing.
Now all I need to make the week complete is a long post from Jeff Gilbert.

Talk about "hitting the pause button", I remember several times having to ask someone what day it was! :thumb:

You're right on the money Tim. I can't believe how much I missed but I'm not sure I really "missed" it...
Great Time! I too have a bunch to say but no time to say it right now.

I agree Tim...I checked my voicemail and called my bf daily, but other than that...I had no idea what was going on. It wasn't until the plane trip home that I realized it was October!

I still don't know what day it is.

Very well, said. I feel the stress cleansed away from my body. I never checked my voicemail since I knew if it was urgent the right people had my cell phone #. Sure, things piled up but they always do. It was my first DW and ya'll are going to have to put up with me each year from now on!
