Montreal / Grand Prix Weekend
Why is blogging so hard? I say because it's so easy not to post to your own blog. And that I never post often enough to make it a habit. So here's my first post in a looooooong time.
Attending my first Grand Prix of Canada (or any GP for that matter) was amazing - the sights, the incredible sounds, and the hot weather made it another memorable experience. Sunday had fantastic weather for race day and we were all glad that Raikkonen was able to hold of Schumacher to win the race. In the cool but strange category, RC and I were sitting at the very end of our grandstand next to the track and we discovered souvenirs on our arms - tiny specks of tire rubber that were strewn off the track. Saturday's qualifying was grueling to watch because of the intense heat and humidity (track temp was a cool 50 celsius) - the sun burns didn't help afterwards either. Pictures to be posted later. And if MS can get the video onto his PC, maybe vidcaps, too.
As for Montreal, we were all staying at some guy's apartment that he rents out to visitors and on Saturday night the guys & girls went to this club/bar called the Loft just off Rue Ste. Catherine. This was a 'cool' place with an industrial/underground theme inside and a huge rooftop patio. Typical dance and top40 music was playing on the dance floor but I couldn't muster the energy to move with everyone else. Feeling feverish at work on Friday then driving for over 5 hours to Montreal, and then getting to sleep past 4am and waking up at 8am - that all made me just a bit too tired. At least I dominated at foosball on the overpriced and non-professional "fabi" table... can't wait to play on the Tornado table at work again!
How to make yourself feel like a parent way too soon: Drive a minivan with a rear DVD entertainment system with the back full of adults acting like babies. Thankfully Harold & Kumar was hilarious to listen to...
