This weekend at Woodburn drag strip, I was pondering the many different cultures to which I've been exposed thanks to my ex-boyfriends: Mods, Brits, Punks. Now I've been exposed to drag racing! I spent 2 days with the pit crew for Gregg's car (in picture) as they played with their big-boy toys. On Saturday I watched over my sweetie's shoulder as he took apart the engine and meticulously examined then fixed every nook and cranny. It was fascinating and not unlike a medical procedure (which I also find fascinating!) Mr. D is a patient, intelligent teacher. On Sunday I wasn't feeling so hot (a little shout out to Miz Jen and her wicked Mai Tais! -- Curses!!) As I sat in the shade, I pulled out my bright pink and neon orange knitting project and just about finished my tea cozy. I laughed at myself as once again I blended two worlds together in the funky way I always manage to do! Maybe I'll metamorphose into a "Drag Race Junkie," but chances are I'll maintain my own personality while navigating this interesting new culture!!

Knitting at the Drag Strip

I personally love the way you meld your worlds. I think it is great. You are open to new situations and ideas, but never loose sight of who you are at the core. I love that about you!
It would behoove any of us to know who PenWah the way she really is, any other way would just not be the same! You rock!-Jovi
Vitamin T soon!
