A Spectacular Day

Today was just about as perfect a day as it could have been. Forget that I woke up late, that it was raining, and that I could not ride bike as I wanted to in the morning.

First, my sheets, pillowcases, and comforter are clean and smelling fresh. Our dryer had been broken for a couple weeks. I was to the point of just taking my bedding to the laundromat to wash. Luckily the repairman came through and we are back in business.

Second, I went on a date today. Yes with a girl! We just met at Dave and Buster's and talked and talked. We were supposed to have lunch but I was so into the conversation that I forgot to eat. Then we walked and walked around Dolphin Mall. We must have done about 5 laps but I didn't even notice. I had a great time.

Third, today was the Twilight 5k. Our date was cut short because I thought it was at 7pm when in reality it was at 6. So imagine my surprise when the phone rang at 5pm asking me if I was on my way. Thank goodness Danny called. If not, I would have missed the race.

I did horribly. It began to rain 1 minute prior to the start and didn't stop until we were about 1 minute from the finish. And it didn't just rain. The skies opened up and water poured out of the clouds. My time was way off of my pace, 35 minutes and something.

Finally, not only did my boy Greg Biffle win today's NASCAR race, I maintained my second place ranking in our Fantasy Racing League. I didn't pick so bad this week. I had the 2nd, 3rd, and 8th place drivers on my team. And one of them led the most laps. Bobby Labonte dissapointed me. He was my only blemish, finishing 38th. I chose him over Jeremy Mayfield who finished 14th. Something was telling me to pick Mayfield but I had read somewhere that Labonte was the sleeper for this race. Oh well, next week they will be at Pocono. Hopefully I continue to do well.
