Been trying to get over a bout of near-bronchitis. Missed two days of work, drinking lots of orange juice and water, eating lots of soup. Ugh.

These days I rarely watch practice, but always qualifying and the race, and both live if at all possible. And thanks for the tip on the NBC special, Countdown to F1 - I have it recording at 1:30 AM tonight for viewing tomorrow night with appropriate cocktails.

I think Louis will surprise some people this year. I think he may be another one who, like Alonso, can take a substandard car and raise it several levels by his skill and daring alone. And if he does that, it will inspire the team to get behind him and push even harder. If we see that happen, Rosberg had better watch out. Edit: We also need to get mikeymad in here. And we may need to put a spoilers limit on post-race posting as I know he sees most races a day or two after the event.

Agreed.

Happy Birthday Fitz!!!

Have not seen the special. I'll have to see if they rebroadcast it. So far I am encouraged by Ferrari's pace, at least compared to last year at this time. It looks like a potential close season again and that is a good thing.

Next time he tweets it, I'll post up Fernando Alonso's training regimen and let us know if you could keep up Dan. Race car driving is a sort.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Seed Lady!!

My friend Dan, who is a friend of my friend Al, speaks for me. Actually, I spoke to Jeff and Jp at a recent get together and have some cash budgeted for a bike to start getting some exercise. Of course 10" of fucking snow today makes it hard to imagine that ...

Almost missed this - Happy Birthday Nate. I hope the day was most excellent!

Mikey, where do you get your Formula One broadcast from? Edit: Wait, I forgot that NBC will be streaming it this year here in the US.

We ate it too quickly.

Grilled flank steak marinated in balsamic vinegar and rosemary roasted potatoes.

From the pics, she was a hell of a cat. Sorry for her passing but it looks like Heidi had a great life with you.

Happy Birthday Dan!! Hoping the day was massively awesome.

A little late, but Happy Birthday to my favorite Michigan resident. Hope you've had an excellent day my friend.

Dinner was 1.5" thick center cut pork chops with a Carpano Antica and cremini mushroom sauce. Fresh green beans rounded things out. The chops were wonderfully juicy and the sauce was a wonderful combo of sweet and mildly bitter. Happy Tummies here.

Happy Birthday Colin!! Enjoy the day with some good food and drink.

Happy Birthday Steve! Hope it's an awesome day.

Happy Birthday Ed!! Pull some pork today if possible!

Happy belated birthday!!

FFF Porchetta. Pork belly, sweet potato mash and creamed collard greens. It was delicious.

Vlad kicks ass and should be on everyone's speed dial for clogs of all kinds.
