I’m back. I’ve been handwriting my entries for the past week or so since I was out of town and computers weren’t my first priority. Now it’s time to get caught up and let you know what’s been going on.
Darlington: We survived the May 8 NASCAR race at Darlington. For the most part, we had fun. I enjoyed watching a race recap at home to see the different points of view. On TV, you only hear about the leaders and a couple other big name drivers. At the race track, the fans booed when four-time champion Jimmie Johnson was introduced. They cheered (loudly) when he wrecked. And the best part was watching Jeff Gordon pass so many people at the end of the race.
The highlights:
- Camp Darlington was close and convenient.
- Walking on pit road pre-race.
- The sounds and smalls and excitement of live NASCAR.
The lowlights:
- People who are rude and inconsiderate. I knew Camp Darlington would be noisy but I didn’t expect the drunks playing loud music would last past 4 am. Plus, people who kick, push, and exhibit other forms of obnoxiousness in a crowded stadium.
- Porta-Potties. I don’t think I need to explain that.
Pain? Yes. We stood. We walked. We carried. We camped. Even with my maximum doses of prescription pain medicines, I hurt. At home on Sunday, I rested and slept pretty much all day. Next stop … Nashville ... visiting family.
