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.
