Not much exciting, quirky or funny has happened to me lately except for that some medication I'm taking is slowly turning my skin blue. I guess I could tell y'all I went to Huset's Speedway on Sunday with Jeremy to catch "the races." There were throngs of NASCAR hat and coat toting fans drinking beer, cheering on stock cars, sprint cars, outlaws (gosh, I hope I have all those catagories labeled correctly) and all that razamatazz. It was loud, dusty and intriguing. Since I am all about new experiences to help broaden my understanding of my community I might just catch the races again.
On my way home from work two days ago, amongst all the annoying traffic, I heard quite the gem on All Things Considered on public radio. It is from a new segment called "This I Believe" where people are asked to write a short essay about something they believe in. Some of these essays will be selected to be read on air. I have included the link to the first installment of "This I Believe" below. It really struck as an excellent philosphy for life and I hope I can work to embody some of the attributes this lady discusses. Read away and let me know what you think.

That's a great philosophy - wish I could act on it. Unfortunately I get really bad cases of road rage, which usually overrides any good intentions I have of just calmly and simply driving somewhere. I don't care who is in my way. If they are driving incorrectly, too slowly, or otherwise in my way and pissing me off I am going to yell and gesture. Can't let these idiots go around thinking that they're doing things right, now can I? But good for the English professor. Maybe she can compensate for my bad karma. Or "car"-ma.
Oh crap - I forgot to sign my post. It's Sarah "Learn-to-drive-you-crazy-yahoo!" Shorthill.
