We’ve had a dodgy week of weather but it’s breaking bright and sunny now and throughout the 3-day weekend.
For me it will be:
1) Golf
2) Golf
3) Golf
Possibly a meal or two thrown in to keep me going.
PS - I used to be obsessed the Indianapolis 500 and always eagerly awaited Memorial Day weekend.
Tony George had one simple responsibility. In his case it was to maintain the prestige and traditions of the 500. Sadly and somewhat predictably this was not good enough for him and he proceeded to devalue his crown jewel at every opportunity. In little over a decade George has undone 80 years of history and hard work by his father and many others. The NASCAR ‘threat’ was always overstated considering the 500 was a once-a-year event and NASCAR is truly a week-to-week, seasonal sport.
In brief, I will DVR the 500 and may even watch it but it’s no longer unmissable live TV for me.
If I were you, I’d DVR the whole 600. Seems silly to miss the last 100 miles.
A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married. She went on and on: feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand up, embraced and kissed her passionately on the lips as her husband watched with raised eyebrows.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?”
The husband thought for a moment and replied, “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I golf.
