After our Sebring visit Mr T says he'll never fly long-distance again unless it's in style. Who'd have a fussy husband, eh?

We had to go up to Michigan two week's ago for my sister in law's wedding, and that chewed up our remaining vacation time till the end of the year. For some bizarre reason my wife's family likes me, and I'd like to keep it that way. The Petit will be there next year.
Had to make do with a trip to Mid-Ohio last Saturday for the Rolex Grand-Am series finale instead. A pretty poor substitute, but any day at MO is a good one. Have fun in Georgia!

I'm a no go, but Matt was making some rumblings about going when I talked to him a couple of days ago. I suspect it depends on whether he can secure his man-servant.

Yes red mud and Fall leaves all part of the attraction at Road Atlanta. Hope Matt and Seth can make it and keep the tradition alive.
They whined at work when i asked for an extra week so am on a bit of a dash myself.

I had an uneventful drive down and back though it did rain quite heavily for the last 5 hours. had a breakfast cidre for you Doris. ;D Put up the flags on the same pole as last year but did it myself this time. 8) as always was nice to hang out with the DfH and Turn10 people.
Hibernate now till Sebring
