Speed in Montreal

Nice to see an American driver back in F1. Scott Speed made his debut as Red Bull's third driver this weekend in Montreal, and he did a respectable job. Not the best out there, but not the worst; ended second practice early with a spin. One hopes to see him in a couple races in a few years.

(He's not related to Lake Speed, for those of you who followed NASCAR in the late eighties.)

In a nutshell

Today:

Caught end of fourth practice

Bought shirt for Sarah

Bought Minardi hat

Died of heat

Put feeties in sculling basin

Watched qualifying and died more of heat

Went to Vieux Montreal for dinner

Followed husband down side street and OMG SAW JEAN TODT AND MICHELLE YEOH AND WOW ARE THEY ONE WEIRD COUPLE BUT AT LEAST SHE'S SORTA HIS AGE

Waited and chatted with nice couple from Toronto b/c Schumi might have come back from dinner to the hotel

Schumi must have been having dessert b/c we didn't see him

Walked down Peel St. and Crescent St, both mobbed

Tried to hail cab for at least 10 minutes

Back up hill and oh shit must be up at 6:45 tomorrow. I could sleep for a week at this point, except it's too fucking hot to think.
