Hi Doris,
            Sorry to hear you will not be there this year. I will help with the cider consumption for you.
Cider for breakfast has become a bit of a tradition well atleast before noon.

I will keep up the tradition of the Goodmorning Dickens cider! Not much of a Wodka drinker, will keep it to Captain and coke!
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

The post I never wanted to write...

I can't make it this year.   :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Uni has put paid to any racing fun I may have been able to have this year.

I know you'll all have a great time but could someone please ensure vast amounts of cider and vodka are consumed on my behalf?  I'd hate for the ABC to be overstocked.   ;D

Oh, and could someone please pick up a poster for me?  Will work out the logistics of getting it to NZ after the race?

Well if you're not going, I'm not going!
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Be that way Andy, If that's your attitude I'm not going to Le Mans, so there.

My condolences to the friends of Norm.

Goddayam! We did a trial run at the FoF this afternoon - just to make sure everything is in order for the arrival of our English/Dutch friends next week. Let me reassure you that the Teriyaki Wings, Chicken Quesedillas and Blackened Grouper are just as good as they have always been (can't vouch for the Sebring Sirloin, which I think is a marketing ploy to palm off excess shoe leather).
I drank a silly amount of 'merican draft and got a little sunburned - but this is a burden I have to bear in the name of quality control for my Sebring-bound friends.
I had words with Jay Herrington (mine host) and he's assured me that you will all get the VIP deal ( i.e. less likely to get shot to death than us locals). BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!

I remember the shoe leather steak well.  Must have been sober.   :(

Matt, we truely appreciate you carrying out the quality control visit for us. By 'merican Draft I assume you mean "Sex in a canoe?" I am a little concerned to not hear how some of the other beverages are being controlled there. Is the Sam Adams still on draft and being served at the correct temperature, how about the Yeungling? Are the 9th Street Runners Band worthy of our audienece? How is Bob's Dancing Pig?

I know it's a bit of a burden but I feel as though we must send you back down there at least once, possibly four times, before our arrival on Friday afternoon! Purely for research purposes you understand :)

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.
When I arrived yesterday lunch-time, Jay was up a ladder fettling the FoF sign. He was removing the proclamaition "Cornholing Here on Tuesdays!" Apparently the local cops had asked him to take it down because it was causing traffic problems with passing motorists stopping to take pictures of it.
I was extremely disappointed to learn that this reference to matters of the cornhole was somewhat different to my understanding of the term. Apparently it is a game of skill involving bean-bags - what a let-down.
I partook of the draft Budweiser, as they don't offer Guinness. Regardless of slurs about how crap it is deemed to be by you folks from the old country, it still gets you hammered if you drink enough of it - and I don't consider myself to be a beer pooftah, just yet.
Unfortunately, today I am sporting a most unflattering one-sided sunburn, rather like Richard Dryfuss in Close Encounters. This, I blame on 'forgetfulness' in rotating myself in order to get evenly browned (like a chicken in a rotisserie, you understand.)
FoF have Sam Adams in bottles and I'm not sure about the Jingling because I never drink the stuff.
Similarly, I avoid the Dancin' Pig, because I'm not partial to pulled pork - but my friends who are, swear by it.
If you cats need picking-up from the airport, I'm happy to oblige, but I'm not a f**k*ng mystic, so let me know your requirements. Those bearing PG Tips teabags, Migraleve and Sure Roll-On deodorant will be given preferential treatment, as always.
Safe travels Sebringites - see you all soon.

I cornholed in Birmingham AL last June, with a realtor and his buddy!! It's good fun when pi$$ed, just like many pub games...

Mr Morgan, what you get up to in the privacy of your own hotel room is up to you.  You were, I assume, a consenting adult?

None of us were very sober, including the driver.

But I was sober enough to know it was just the corn which was holed...

Oh dear! Cornhole is a game invented right here in Cincinnati's western suburbs.  Apparently our good 'ole boys in Western Hills get too pissed to safely throw horseshoes, so they wisely decided chucking bean bags full of cracked corn at holes cut into bits a plywood was a better idea.  Got to be careful about who you tell that you play cornhole though....
We'll be at Sebring bright & early Sat. morning.  Probably hit Ollie Oyster up in Hudson Beach Friday night, best seafood dive I've ever gotten sh*t-faced in, and the oysters defy description.
