My buddy Neil on CFOX asked me why I didn't tell him sooner it's was Patrick's birthday. See, I should be doing Canadian radio, I wouldn't have missed it on my specialty show, although I would be doing the 80's nooner right?
Review of Sloan show not going to happen right now, getting ready to head home. I am not sure I can convey that night properly, it was a lightning strike from God that writing this story is the right thing to be doing. How does one go with the other? Irony can be a huge sign.
No phone call from Team Firebird yet, I am sure I am on the bubble but Lonnie called last night to say he asked if I made it and they said yes. My friends are going bug the team captains into letting me go-hehe. Lonnie thought I would get a call last night like he did but nope.... I do really want to race the finals again, it's been since before Dan and I were even married! Nice thing is Dan seems excited about it even though he is not racing this year. The finals are like spirit week in high school, you get to route for your fellow team mates in the stands, there is a huge bbq, you get to dress silly one night (hillbilly is the theme) and you get to compete against racers from California, Nevada, Utah and Hawaii. Some of my favorute memories of racing where how much fun my parents and I had the fials in Palmdale, CA. That was 1998, 97 was very fun at Firebird too! Lonnie won the race of Champions at Palmdale which got all our mugs in National Dragster in the winners circle. Crazy fun memories, I think I even won a few rounds that race, yeah I won money, maybe 4 rounds? Nice wonderful memories... It would be fun to go this year, not sure if we would take the RV or just go back and forth home(Speedworld is about 50 miles from home)
I have to say as I am thinking about it, I really am enjoying the kids in Cronkite Village. They are so motivated and active. I can't believe that it is almost time for me to have to go through it all again to pick the next group already.
I wrote over 5000 words last night on a scene I was dreading. I ended up really pleased with it. Elise has her boyfriend and family over to have dinner with her family...I liked how it turned out, it was definately a case of leading me. I wasn't as certain which way I wanted to go so it took a little longer. It kept me up until 2am and I am feeling it now. MUch as I want to keep at it, I will probably need to crash tonight. INXS is on at 9pm, then I better hit it... My eyes have hurt all day.
Also big today, the deluxe version of Matt Good's hit package "In a Coma" is out today. Andrew is in Vancouver to pick it up today. I should get it this Thursday. It's a great day for my two favorite Canadian guys!! ;)
