The big Indy 500 race is this week-end. You may have heard about it. People tell me this area gets absolutely insane. I've already seen some of the race craziness.
We, however, are going to watch some hockey. The Red Wings are going to humiliate the Penguins Saturday evening. Our friends and neighbors, C and N, are huge Pittsburgh fans. We're planning a feast, there *may* be some adult beverages involved and I've already spiffed up our Red Wings jerseys.
There may even be some incriminating pictures.
GO RED WINGS!
Yep, we are going to watch some hockey...and on Sunday night we are going to watch some racing. The 500 is only once a year and even Mia has a dog in this fight. Our daughter is a HUGE Danica fan! Everytime I have a race on all she does is ask me about Danica. "where is she?, Is that her car?, Is she beating the boys?,etc. etc."... And no I didn't have anything to do with this either, she watches racing when I have it on (in 5 minute snatches of course)and just likes Danica cause she's a girl too.

I brought my chris osgood signed shirt and hung it next to a poster we put up at work...(lisa, you KNOW who i got the shirt from...and when the poster was put up it was there like a week before he admitted he bought it for me but then we broke up...wonder if he'll give it to me when we take it down) i wanna be chris' massage therapist....! if i only knew how to get hold of him! as for the 500...we used to go camping with a bunch of people at the pinery every year and what was on the agenda? the 500 of course! all the guys sitting around a picnic table hunched over a 12 inch tv....

hey Lisa,
found this link on your meetup profile (I'm a new member of your writer's group), and HAD to check you out when I saw you're from Michigan like me. I live in Boston now and it's SOOOOOO refreshing to hear someone say GO RED WINGS!
thanks,
Tiffany
