My trip out to LA has been postponed until the 9th. Good because I now have some extra time to plan and get my agendas prepped for what I can imagine will be a packed 2 weeks of work. Bad because I will be missing (for the second year in a row) the 12 Hours of Sebring ALMS race. Between that race and Petit Le Mans up in Atlanta, those are the only times I’m able to really just drop it all and focus on something other than work/life. It’s a vacation in the truest sense of the term. Nothing like burned race gas, sun, campfire foods, and tons of alcohol to fuel what would be an ordinary weekend. It always seems as if I’ve got some sort of unplanned business travel that gets in the way of me and my need to watch racing, as last year’s Sebring was canceled due to my 2nd Mumbai trip. It is hard to be upset being as I am getting some free travel time out of this. At least I’ll get to watch the race on TV here in the states.
As of this writing, I am enjoying an excellent brew by the Weyerbacher brewery in PA called Insanity. I think it goes well with the past week I’ve had both in and out of work (although with the way things have been going, I’ve been spending more time at work than out). The beer is a cask aged barley wine that packs quite a punch. It has a very scotch-like taste to it with a weaker malt taste than I would imagine a barley wine to have. Either way, it’s darn tasty and it’s a good way to wrap up what has been quite an insane few days. I’ve had to juggle time between work, planning a bachelor party for a coworker, trying to gather more information about my LA trip, and other miscellanea. Woe is me, right?
