Jen, remember this lesson for winter in Chicago...

"it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off"

(Have fun, MD is a great read!)

OK, I'll play. Looking for my wife: attorney, child of labor/poverty activist, mother of adopted immigrant, terrified of current regime, poet, English undergrad, fierce, whip-smart, made in Detroit. Doesn't want a depressing read. Bonus points if available at Book Ends and Beginnings. IYKYK. Thanks!

I was working F&C at Road Atlanta's turn 11 (the SCCA Run-offs) & felt a tap on my shoulder-it was PLN & the club president. Newman wanted a look at the racing line. Privilege much? He was super polite, took direction well, and stayed out of the friggin way. Ran into him at other races-very likable.

Thank you Asma! Wow! Everyone should be required to teach stereo-chemistry with ASL- this is a great way to see what's going on.

BTW- ignore the mansplaining!

I had the privilege of meeting Bill at a gathering just after 9/11. He was the perfect admixture of comforting, energizing, and-if I'm honest-frightening. We are a better world because he was in it!

Racers prepare. I still have my tow strap from the late 80s. PLN, Michelli Alboreto, and a bunch of others were pulled out of the line... way back in the day.

Sociopathy? Narcissism ? I think that's what it's like.
