I got a beer....

which was more than I deserved so I'm happy.

Tell ya something, Frank... I lost that "I wanna be a rock star and famous" desire a LONG time ago. About the same time I lost my "I wanna be a famous actor" quest. I would still, however, like to be on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car circuit... or any auto racing circuit.

Sorry, quick JamesJM tale -

Last week I was inside and I could hear my ATV periodically going around the back of my house. (remember, I live in a field, farm country). It was like clockwork... so I went outside to investigate.

Two of my grandson's had designated a 'course' and were racing around it with a stop watch. Pretty long course, with lots of turns. Maybe a half mile, or even a little longer.

"Papa, see if you can beat our record".... wellllllll.... as dangerous as it was, far too dangerous for my grandson's to be doing, how could I resist the challenge?

First Lap.... missed my oldest grandson's record by 1/100th of a second.. yes, you're reading that right... 1/100th. I think he was slow hitting the stop button on the stopwatch... but no matter... on the 2nd lap, now knowing the course, I beat his time by just over 1 second... and never looked back.

Yup, I missed my calling, Frank.
