Go, Speed Racer, GO!!!

Our son found his Speed Racer movie again, so he immediately popped it into the player and all of us benefitted from his taste in entertainment.

Today I celebrated (haha) the 1 week mark of our phones not working.  I called SBC and complained because they were supposed to be here yesterday, their website said the problem was fixed on the 1st and one of their phone guys noted on our records he was here yesterday morning (he wasn't) and couldn't fix anything because our garden equipment was in the way...  funny, but we don't have ANY garden equipment.  Since we don't have as much land as in Indy, we have someone else care for the yard now... hence no equipment...

I was fine while on the phone w/SBC until I was told no one could come again to fix things until tomorrow...  I then realized that husband was racing tomorrow and God forbid anything happens I won't be able to call out or get calls coming in.  I mean, I can on my cell, but 90% of the calls and the conversations get cut off (except, of course, that one conversation I had with my friend Patti about God and by pure miracle we had a perfect conversation for about 45 minutes...)  Desperate measures kicking in prompted me to:  forward my cell phone to the fax line, disable the automatic fax answer and plug in a regular phone to the fax, so I can receive calls that way, to my cell...  I feel much better now..!

SO, when we talked yesterday, my very own Speed Racer couldn't wait to tell me that he'd been the quickest during practice.  Unfortunately, things changed from then to qualifying because his teammate (who was qualifying the car) ran off so they are starting 35th...  As usual in racing one can go from hero to zero faster than one can drive, and so it goes...  I wish he drove the Mach 5, but I can do without the monkey.  And Trixie.  I would never want to be called Trixie...
