During cocktail hour around the pool Ani & I ventured into the hotel bar for some margaritas. We met a very sweet (and very cute) pit crew member from Canada who was in town for the Grand Prix taking place in downtown San Jose. (Yes, Thor, all those big race car transport trucks we saw on I-5 driving back down from the Northwest are here for this event).

This guy had never heard of blogging until yesterday. Apparently the racecar cheerleading squad usually stays in the same hotel as the racecare crew. But this time the girls were re-located because there wasn’t enough room. But, as this nice young fellow was telling us, they were appeased by being told that the hotel is full of women so not to worry. Women LOGGERS.

Suffice it to say, Ani & I had a good laugh.

Then we convened for some late night snacking in Maggie’s room. The preggers Maggie & Andrea held court until the witching hour when of all us non-preggered got kicked out. (I remember that pregnant wall-hitting very well).

The very NON-pregnant Ani & I topped off our night with a dip in the jacuzzi. Followed by some late night IMing with Thor. During which I had to ask myself, “Why aren’t we just talking on the phone? …. I don’t know. But somehow IMing is more fun.”

Thank you and good night.

p.s. I SO can’t wait to see Quinn….
