For the record, the Boeing 717 sucks! ok, ok, ok, probably it was just my seat that sucked, but here was the view out of my window.

As usual, Saturday before the race, my bro-in-law Ryan and I went to Muncie and met up with my friend Steve. We enjoyed our traditional Greek’s breadsticks, and weird beer downtown at Herot. Herot is a pub devoted to all manner of beer from all over the world, and like its literary namesake, [...]

The mailman finally brought something good instead of his usual packet of bills.

I missed this race last year, and was bummed. This will be my first race of the season, next will be the Indy 500. More importantly, though this will be Tab’s first IndyCar race ever! We’re volunteering for the [...]
