‘This must be Thursday,’ said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer. ‘I never could get the hang of Thursdays.’

Today’s Experiment
So far, so good…
I’ve kept myself to checking social media once every hour or two, and when I do get on Facebook or Twitter, I log off if I see more than 2-3 political posts in my timeline.
This is for me, not for you. Don’t feel slighted if I or anyone else is checking in less often. We do what we need to do for our own well being.
Meanwhile, I have to get back into the novel Life Debt, as the next book in the Aftermath series comes out in about 2 and a half weeks! Yikes!
And, after watching just the first 10 minutes of the second episode of Riverdale, I’ve decided to stop. It’s just TOO teen angsty and 90’s WB/CW in it’s tone. I’ll stick to the recent Archie Comic by Mark Waid, thanks.
And I liked Powerless. It has potential.
Also, I hope they sell that ‘Sleeping Draymond’ blanket to the general public.

1997: I became a NASCAR fan, all because it was a quiet Sunday in February, with no football or baseball or hockey. I wasn’t a basketball or soccer fan at that time.
I came across the Daytona 500 on CBS, and figured that this was as good a time as any to watch a race. I never had in the past, I had only followed Indy Car racing on and off since I was a kid.
I picked the first and maybe only driver who had a web address on the back of his firesuit: www.jeffgordon.com
He went on to win the race, and NASCAR and Jeff Gordon gained a new fan.
2017: the new format for races are, in my opinion, a joke. 3 stages per race, each with a ‘winner’ and points assigned, with bonus points for playoff purposes for the winners.
NASCAR has changed their format more times than I can remember, since the creation of the Chase for the Cup. I don’t recall IndyCar or F1 changing as frequently or drastically, if at all.
Jeff Gordon retired 2 years ago, at the end of the 2015 season. I watched very few races in the past few seasons, and with both Gordon and Tony Stewart (retired last season) out of racing, along with the revamped points system I think I’m done with NASCAR.
