I Can't Figure Out How to Post a Comment on My Own Blog!

I give up. Ok, so I will make a new post to answer Heather's comment on the Birthday BBQ post. :-(

You reminded me--you must get me a fridge magnet! At CCF's museum store if they have them or wherever the opportunity should arise.

I love the bird photos, and as a matter of fact I have been "birding" all afternoon! I just posted some names and info about the ones I could identify on your Facebook album.

I can't believe I didn't post about the Indy 500 winner! No, Helio Castroneves didn't win this year. But it was wild! Here's the story basics courtesy of the LA Times:

Dan Wheldon won his second Indianapolis 500 in a wild finish in which California rookie J.R. Hildebrand had the victory in his grasp but crashed on the final turn.

Hildebrand, conserving fuel when others were forced to pit, passed defending winner Dario Franchitti with only a few laps remaining and was leading Wheldon when the white flag came out to signal the final lap at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

But as the 23-year-old Hildebrand entered Turn 4, he slammed into the wall. He kept his car moving forward but not fast enough to prevent Wheldon from passing him to reach the checkered flag first.

"I just kept pushing," Wheldon told a television audience after he took a gulp from the celebratory bottle of milk in Victory Lane. Choking back tears, he said, "I never gave up. It's just an incredible day."

Hildebrand settled for second, Graham Rahal was third and Tony Kanaan fourth.

Wheldon, a British driver, won the Indy 500 in 2005, but after winless seasons in 2009-10, he failed to get a full-time ride this season. But a group led by veteran driver Bryan Herta hired Wheldon to at least drive in this year's Indy 500.

So basically, Hildebrand's crashed car at least kept moving forward and it slid across the finish line in 2nd place!

In other news, it's still raining. (Not really news by now.) I survived going to the gym this morning for the first time in about a month. We're planning to work this weekend on making the path in the backyard from the deck to the gazebo and shed, so I went shopping for some of the supplies. Lindsay is supposed to come over for dinner tonight and not sure yet what we're having. (It was going to be chicken salad, which would ordinarily be ok minus the chicken part, but I already put bacon and eggs in it. Lindsay is a vegetarian if you'll recall, and I don't really want to make her pick bacon bits out.) BTW, did I mention before that Lindsay and Sawyer have handed their honeymoon planning off to...Nick and Jordan???!?!? Scary!!

I also think I managed to change the settings on this blog to notify Heather by email when I post. Let me know if it works! I just can't figure out how to make it let me post a comment on my own blog!!
