Back Home Again in Indiana

Time again for the Indy 500. Hope it doesn't thunderstorm later like the weather channel said. James was headed down to Indy to go to the race with our friend Andrew.

I remember when I was little, going to the 500 parade downtown a few times with my Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jack and I think I went to the race one year with them, too. But being little, my parents I think thought it would be boring for me, or maybe I found it boring. I think I was still in the single digits or had just turned around 10 or so. Also remember going down for Carb Day, jazz band got to play down there, that was neat. And then about three years ago James, Andrew and I went down for Carb Day to see Better Than Ezra and such. Sitting up in the suites was nice, but the concert...not so much. A lot of beer drinkers and scantily clad over weight women trying to body surf...eek!

Heh, I also remember my mom crying whenever we would listen to the race and Jim Nabors would sing Back Home Again in Indiana...I guess she's just sentimental about that sort of stuff.

Anywho, it's off to work and maybe catch the race on the radio in the back.

My pick this year for winner is Helio Castroneves. But we shall see. It's highly unlikely that Danica will win this year because of her car...but perhaps in the coming years, that would be great to see!
