December 14, 2006 So I tried but had no luck in getting someone to go out to Vinnie’s (rumored hang out of many NASCAR people). I was a bit antsy and do not want to sit home and watch TV so I had to bit the bullet and go out ALL BY MYSELF. I decided to go up there and have some dinner. Well, no luck on hooking up with anyone who know anyone who would be hiring for jobs in NASCAR but the craziest thing did happen. As I was waiting to get a table, what appeared to be a very nice gal came and stood next to me. Because I am alone at down here I have made it a point to chit chat with anyone I can. So I strike up a conversation with this gal. It turns out she is on a blind date. I told her if the date doesn’t show up she is more than welcome to join me for dinner. She thought that was sweet of me to offer (people down here say that a lot “that’s sweet”). Well her date did show up but they offered to have me join them for a drink after I was done with dinner. After enjoying some delicious crab cakes I wandered into the bar and found them. This is when things start to get a little strange. I was not at the table more than 10 minutes and this gal, I think her name was Bobette, says she has to leave. Like I said she was a nice gal so when she got up to leave she came over and gave me a hug. She whispers in my ear that she really was not interested in this guy and told me to feel free to hang out with him. Joe left with Bobette to walk her to her car. So her I sit with some other woman’s blind date. Not exactly the ideal situation – especially since I had no interested in Joe. He is a boxer and I think he my have that “punch drunk” thing going on. I tried to see if I could get out of the place without any of them seeing me but that was not possible. When Joe returns I tell him this must be his lucky night – 2 for one special at Vinnies. He thinks it’s great one date leaves and he still has one gal left???!!!??? We chat for a while and I have another beer, don’t want to make him feel too bad, his date really did not stick around very long. By now it’s about 10 o’ clock and I announce I also need to be getting home. Joe looks at me kind of strange and he said well you don’t have to go to work tomorrow why you have to go home so early. Hmmm…. That caught me off guard, why did I have to go home??? Well I said I had a meeting @ Chip Ganassi Racing (which is partially true) and I wanted to be in good shape for that so I needed to get a good nights sleep. He seemed to buy that and we went our separate ways. 67 degrees today! Jane
