It's My Life................

Thinking about Gwen Stefani singing that song now, which is better than the Monty Python "I'm A Lumberjack" ear worm that I've had all day. 
Let's see, Lewis Hamilton won the US Grand Prix last weekend and therefore the Formula One world championship. Nice going Lewis, not a real classy move shoving your teammate out of the way on the first turn of the first lap, but as Kevin Harvick proved at Talladega last week sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.....Anyway, after the race Lewis was very happy, and tossed his teammate Rosburg his P2 hat, hilarity ensued:
By the way, in Formula One not unlike NASCAR everything about victory lane is scripted, the P2 hat denotes Position 2 or what is called in racing, first loserWho would have ever thought Formula One drivers would be such a$$holes? But anywho I do enjoy Formula One. Ever see the movie Rush? There you go..... 
We saw The Martian Thursday night and loved it, then came home and re-watched Interstellar. So add in Private Ryan, how much money have we spent trying to get Matt Damon home? Oh, the humor gets worse, much worse, read on................
And Spectre is on the way, maybe next weekend if we can fight the crowds. 
And a good week in Detroit, hired at least one rep and got to see utter destruction of a US city. It is very sad, and kinda scary, but some of those I visited think the city's bankruptcy might be the best thing for the city, and are optimistic for the first time in years. Good for them.
Pictures: yes, we got pictures, but sadly none from last week when the FO showed up Sunday morning and went fishing. No not fishing, for the first time in months (it was the first time on the boat since August) we went catching, got a bunch, enough for supper and to send some home to Durham. I plan to go again in the morning. Sorry the GoPro didn't upload correctly, I also suspect user-error. 
Forgot this one from TN a couple of weeks ago:
Photograph taken by me at an office in Detroit this week, pretty obscure but funny
Insert your punchline here:
I'll get you started: The Pope, a priest and a rabbi walk into this bar........now you go
And then it got darker........................FO called today to discuss fishing, etc. and shared a joke he authored. As he began I asked for the setup line to see if I could get the punch:
FO: Do you know how messed up Lamar Odom was in that Nevada cathouse?
Me: So screwed up that he married a Kardashian? (no, my part wasn't that good, I know)
FO: So screwed up that Bill Cosby called him. That's pretty good, I'll share that at church Sunday.
Then it got even darker.................don't ask me where I found this but one of my favorite drivers filmed a commercial for NBC and the Olympics a few years ago, and I'll bet you forgot about it

Sorry, could resist after I re-saw it this week. And now it is hard to un-saw it ain't it?
I got into town early enough to take my sweetie to the movies Thursday night, and now I'm going to get to stay home all week. I too suspect the game is afoot...........................

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
