it's that time again.

the best time of the year.

little 500 season is now full blown.

i've always had good reasons to love spring in Bloomington, and i'm thrilled that I just keep adding on to those reasons every year.

qualifications were saturday, and although i felt like crap towards the end of the day, it was magical to see everyone i love all in one wonderful place. i'm going to skip a coherent review of everything and leave you with a list.
*nicks
*the fowlers!
*hipster glasses
*jimmy kisses
*"are you sure? hamilton LOVES you"
*revstrong!
*ZBT quals and calling their lawyers
*anything that was said in the pressbox
*"can we share body heat?"
*PATCHES!
*bennetti
*"osterman is my hero"
*"My quals run is 'Kilroy's, Nicks, Upstairs, Kilroys'."

it was just a wonderful day (and a wonderful night before) full of wonderful people.
