Polite Dissent

I hope everyone had a good holiday and took a moment to reflect on the concept behind Memorial Day. I was graced with a rare week day off (well, I was on call, but it was quiet), so spent the day catching up on important reading (comic books, not medical journals) and watching American Hot Rod and American Chopper on the Discovery Channel. I am amazed by the workmanship and skill of those guys. There are times I think I would be perfectly happy being able to do hands-on work like that for a living (but definitely not under Paul, Sr.).

The Indy was a bit disappointing as it was rain shortened, but still a good race. The Coca-Cola 600 was an excellent race, and I was happy to see Jimmy Johnson win. Unfortunately, Bobby Labonte crashed on the last lap. At least, he still managed to pull off a 13th place finish, and moved up to 6th overall in points.

This week shouldn’t be too bad. Only four days and no call! Now, if only the weather will stay nice so I can get some bike rides in.
