And today

And today it rained like hell.

And today race cars were practicing on part of the course that will comprise the Toyota Long Beach Grand Prix in a couple of weeks. And boy, were they ever noisy. Can't wait for race weekend! Not.

And today I did a bunch of laundry.

And today I met a group organizer with the personality of a gnat.

And today I hosted some people from other countries in which circus may be setting up shop in the next couple of years.

And today I saw a spray of chocolate from our chocolate fountain (yes!! a chocolate fountain for pete's sake!) make a mess of my red curtains.

And today I finally hung up in the entrance of my suite the red stretchy silk fabric that I first put up in Hong Kong.

And today I drank enough Diet Coke to caffeinate an entire army of gay Diet Coke addicts shock even me.
