Super Day
I'm not a sports guy. I watch NASCAR, but there is this thing in me that keeps me from considering it a real sport. Yes, I know the drivers are very, very skilled, but I question the sportiness of any activity I can do well. But I digress.
Superbowl '96 was between the Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. I was living in Big D at the time and owned a '71 GMC truck painted, you guessed it, yellow and black. Peter, Joe and I hit on this idea to take the truck and drive it down to the club to see what would happen. We were talked out of it, but our plan was more than theoretical. Looking back on it, I guess we were angry---about being broke all the time, about being lonely (that was me), about not living the life we thought we deserved and a thousand other things.
Yet, I can't help but miss those trying times, especially on days like this.

I can't consider NASCAR a sport. It just hurts when I try.
However, being a thrill-seeker (bungee jumping ROCKS), I might enjoy being a passenger on a ride or two! But that still wouldn't make it a real sport. ;-)

Anyone who wants to seriously lose weight should consider NASCAR... Although it doesn't seem to work for Tony Stewart.
and I thought a iMac review would be here.....c'mon Matt!!!
