| Thank you for all your kind words. I definitely plan to come to the other rounds to support the riders and watch some excellent racing.
Somehow I knew I would get a different perspective from you Steve! The problem is that you are applying your own passion to me and it's just not there. You shouldn't feel sorry for me either, my friend. I got to try racing and it just wasn't for me. The pity would be if I never had the chance to try it at all.
I have as close to a perfect life as anybody has a right to expect - terrific family, great friends, nice house, a well-paid job that I love, and an open bar on each floor in my office! I have several other things that I am passionate about and am not missing out on life.
Blimey - this is all getting a bit zen and grasshopper-like so I'll close with this chinese proverb.
'A gem cannot be polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials'.

ps This other proverb is sticking in my head as well. 'Do not employ handsome servants'.....
pps before Saturday, I had no idea how the whole setup worked. I would say now that any DSC member planning to see any of the rounds should definitely get paddock passes (either as a guest of a rider or just pay the £2.50 you tightwad!) - it adds a whole new dimension to the event.  |
