John,
Remember, Cranky was out in that sun all day taking photos. It can do funny things to you after a while. I wish I could go to the Glen. Hopefully next year.
Todd,
John is right. Just make the time. My weekends are generally quite busy, and there are lots of things I could be doing. But I had to prioritize, and some things just had to wait. I wanted to race. If I had house projects to do, or something like that, then it would just have to wait another week. Family comes first, but even they would probably understand if you missed a small gathering (I don't mean miss the wife's b-day
). You'll be glad you found a way to make the time.
Steve
