Slices of time and space in my world

I don't have the foggiest idea as to what the purpose of this blog will be. So I will muddle along and see where it takes me. If you are bored enough to take this journey with me, then I pity you and welcome you all at once.

Well, I'm flying to Oklahoma today for a work convention, so I won't be able to update the blog for a few days (yes, I know that won't be all that different from my update schedule lately). But before I left I wanted to share my excitement over my favorite F1 driver (Jenson Button) getting his first win at a very wet Hungarian GP this past Sunday. Formula 1 is always at its best when it rains, as it equalizes the cars somewhat and allows for overtaking and generally makes it hard for drivers to keep the car on the track. It was an exciting race to watch, and when Button came to the front and it looked possible for a win I was jumping off the couch rooting him on (Jazzy was looking at me like I was crazy). Then, when he had a nice lead with 10 laps to go I was praying to keep his car on the track and his engine in good shape (he had to replace an engine in practice because it "done blowed up", resulting in a 10 place grid penalty). But he crossed the line for his first victory in his 113th race in F1. He's still only 26, so hopefully I'll be jumping off the couch in celebration many more times in the future.
