12 Hours of Sebring

Last weekend the 56th annual running of the 12 Hours of Sebring, a sports car race down in Florida. The race began at just past 10am Saturday morning. The Speed channel showed about 10 hours of the race, taking two hours off mid-day to bring us critical coverage of the NASCAR Nationwide series' practice session at Bristol, which really is as interesting as it sounds.
To read what I thought of the race itself, check out my other blog, Street Level.
Fortunately for me, I'm not the only nut-job who wants to sit and watch a race for twelve straight hours. A friend of mine (yep, just one) joined me for the entire event, and I was pretty grateful for the company. I would've watched it by myself, but it wouldn't've been nearly as much fun.
This kind of racing is pretty exciting, and I highly recommend you check out at least the last 20 or 30 minutes of a race even if you don't think you'd have any interest. Of course, if you're already hooked, you know where you can find someone to watch with.

Murph

This one's not so fun, which is why it's a month late. On February 19th my parents' dog Murphy was put to sleep. I say he was my parents' dog, but he was around for (I think) 14 years, so he was our dog for most of it.
It wasn't unexpected, but it still kinda bites. As far as we could tell, he had an absolute blast most of the time, so we can't really be too sad.

Pistons @ Celtics!

Tonight the Celtics host the Pistons for one of the season's most exciting games. The Celtics are #1 in the league, ahead of the #2 Pistons by 3 games, and this is their third and final regular-season matchup (the series is 1-1).I have absolutely awesome tickets and I can't wait for game time. I was hoping to see Sam Cassell on the court, but he isn't expected to start for the Celtics until Friday. Regardless of that minor detail, it should be an awesome game.
