Subject: RE: WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
Spaw, I am watchin Jimmie Johnson. :-)He's young and has a lot of years to race.

Let me back up a little here, and blame this all on my big brother. He went to the Richard Petty racing school a year or so ago, and had So Much Fun that he Wouldn't Shut Up. So I said, all right, I'll watch a race, for the heck of it.

And wouldn't you know, I liked it, and that was the end of that. I've watched nearly every race on network TV this season. I mean, heck, I've grown up right smack in the middle of NASCAR country, so I already knew most of the drivers anyhow.

And Kyle Petty, well, he's the Heir to the Throne, ain't he? I love that Sprint PCS commercial he does. ;-)

Personally I am really fascinated with the pit crews. Changing 4 tires and filling a tank in 15 seconds is pretty darn good teamwork. They've got all these programs now where you can go drive a race car, like my brother did, but I wanna be on the pit crew!!! Waaaaaah!!!

Now. Back to soccer. I had never watched soccer before until the Poland game. It was utter chaos and I really liked it. I like sports that move fast. This year, I also discovered hockey.

It isn't that I ever had an active dislike of sports, just that I never took the time to really pay attention to any. But now that I have, there are a few that I do enjoy. And I'm one of those people who hollers at the TV.

If I had cable, I'd be dangerous.
