Let's give this a theme approach:
1. I sat in the Parnelli Jones Indy turbine car - #40
2. I sat in the Tony Stewart Home Depot car - #20
3. I sat in the Jeff Gordon Drive To End Hunger car - #24
4. I sat in the Benny Chastain AARP car - #75
5. I'm a NASCAR fan

Nope - the car was staged for an exhibit at the Smithsonian American History Museum. I was helping run the food service, working for Marriott. The car was in the lower hallway outside the doors to the kitchen. My eyes popped out and my heart raced. I eased into the seat and buckled the harness. With my hands grasping the wheel, I did a few fantasy laps.

We used to attend the Indy 500 and one year watched the turbine car whisper around the track.

No, #4 is not correct.

I took my mother to Sedona last May as birthday present for her 70th birthday. Neither of us had ever been there before, and we really loved it. Found some hikes that we both enjoyed and played some golf. We even made it to the Grand Canyon for the day.

Ha ha ha. I guess I am a bad liar!

Yes, I did not start a new job this year. Wish I did...my company went through a merger and it has been an horrendous year.

I did run the Chicago marahon (in 85 degree weather). Sign-up for 2011 started Tuesday...husband is pushing for it. Me? I am not so sure I am ready for the training.

And, I did spend my birthday at a funeral. Certainly not ideal, but I was with family...
