Have a great birthday Vicki!!!

Awesome. Debbie and I hope to some day have the honor of eating Alden prepared Wellington. My mouth is watering from the pic. Cheers Al, and family!

I'm going way out on a limb here. Fernando keeps saying that he is going to do what is right for him and right for Ferrari. I say he quits driving all together and takes the job of Ferrari team boss. I know my prediction will be very wrong, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. One way or another we will know soon.

So Antonio, what is your guess as to Alonso's future?

Almost forgot this. In. Go Wonder Woman!

We went out to a local steak/wine bar tonight for dinner. Debbie ordered a 10 oz filet cooked medium. When we got our steaks, hers was pretty blue in the center. Our waitress was very good, offering to replace the steak immediately. Debbie did send it back and they gave her a complete new dinner with the steak cooked correctly. The manager came by our table and let us know they were comping Debbie's steak and all the wine we had consumed. Awesome customer service in our books, and because the waitress was so attentive and apologetic, she got a big tip. So a night that could have been shitty turned out good.

I agree Antonio. The Santander thing made me question not whether Fernando would stay, but whether Ferrari would keep him knowing his main sponsor would probably go away. And as you say, Alonso must be sick of taking a 12th place car to close to podium positions each week just through the brute force of his driving skill. I do think he wanted to finish his career driving for Ferrari, but the team made a total hash of it. With DiMontezemelo and others gone, I think Alonso knew the writing was on the wall. I will watch with great curiosity how next season goes if he does sign with McLaren. Ron Dennis has always seemed a dodgy bastard to me and I don't see Fernando meshing any better than his last time there. I hope I'm wrong. As for Vettel, it's going to be hard. He's bailing from Red Bull after one season of a bad car. What will he do in the next three years that it will take Ferrari to come up with a competitive car? He'll go mad. And I will have a hard time rooting for Ferrari with him in the cockpit. The person who gets the best end of this stick in my opinion is Kvyat. I think he'll drive the wheels off the Red Bull next year and have a great season.

Banh mi at Horse Thief Hollow Brewing.

Happy Birthday to a fellow F1 fan!

Burgers and rings at B-Spot, Michael Symon's burger chain in Cleveland.

Tried one last visit to Hot Doug's but the line was twice as long as the day we waited like five hours. So we called an audible and went for a nice breakfast.

Thai pizza from FFF.

Happy Birthday Jim. Extra large Vespers are in order tonight.

So do I.

Congrats on the house Ian!

Well now, things just just got interesting.

I need to borrow your fridge.

What he said. I would definitely make that and eat it.

Happy Birthday!!
