Need Tylenol

Yeah I've got a fever...race fever. The NASCAR Sprint Cup is coming to Atlanta this weekend. It'll break my Hot-Lanta streak of 6 straight races in Atlanta, certainly the down side of unemployment. I'm just glad I didn't buy tickets and a camp site already. Talk about a guilt "trip"... pun intended.

Same sort of event happened in January. I had already bought my tickets to the 2008 NHL All-Star game, right before I got a 32% pay cut at work. I felt pretty bad going and having a good time while my world's greatest wife stayed home and worked two jobs. I have to say it was one hell of a good time, met my "cousins" from Denver there and we had an absolute blast. (They're actually Sara's cousins but as good as blood to me!) I won't carry on too much more on these topics. I know I have a diverse reader base on this blog, but I'd bet ya'll would much rather read about something other than NASCAR or hockey.

So the low fuel for the evening is missing the race weekend, and the proverbial Tylenol will be enjoying the race on my flatscreen with a close friend or two, might spring for a steak to grill out.

Tonight's blog is sponsored by The Station, Valdosta's best kept secret when it comes to a quality package store. Brian and Betty who own the store are some of the most genuine good people I've come across in this town. They take a lot of pride in their store and have certainly helped me through these tough times with extra part-time hours. Next time you need to grab some cold beer for the big game or other spirits for your get-together go see Brian and Betty.
