Just Like a Walk in the Park

What an awesome weekend it was! The weather here was in the mid 70s both days. Spring has finally sprung! Or ... has it? Doesn't look like it's going to break 60 again at least for the next several days. I hope the weather is as nice here next Sunday for the Atlanta Nextel Cup race as it was this Sunday.


Speaking of Nextel Cup, that was the one downside of the weekend. Dale Jr. is not off to a very good start this year. He ran into the back of Brian Vickers and wrecked them both very early in the race. He also, however, demonstrated one of the qualities that I really admire about him. In the post-mishap interview, he didn't try to make excuses or deny responsibility. He stepped up, admitted he screwed up and apologized to Vickers and his team. Now I'm sure that didn't really make Vickers feel a whole lot better, but he at least respected Jr. for being a man about it.

Other than that, it was a great weekend. Donna and I took the dogs to the park both Saturday and Sunday and got in some good exercise walking. We also took some time to just sit and relax and enjoy the breeze and the sunshine. The park was really busy -- there were lots of folks who apparently had the same idea. The dogs enjoyed it, too. They got to sniff lots of people and other dogs -- and they really enjoy going for walks in general.

I cannot wait for Spring to finally get here!
