This weekend I took my son Nolan to his first race, the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Technically he was "there" with mom and I last year, but things were a little quieter in the womb. This time he got the full experience!

I decided to drive over just for the day to give mom some peace and quiet back home. When I arrived, Joe O'Brien (Series9), his lovely Jenny and James (ellisor3) were beyond gracious and allowed me to park in their spot. They kept Nolan entertained while I unpacked all his food, diapers, etc and helped me manage him when he inevitably became cranky with the noise and after the long drive. If that wasn't enough, James made sure we got fed some excellent steak for dinner and Nolan got enjoy some night racing before we headed back home.

Thank you again to all of you for being such gracious impromptu hosts - Joe and Jenny were actually enjoying their first "break" from parenting after they had their own little one this year, so I cannot say thank you enough for spending some of your own time to help me out. If anyone here ever needed another example of what a great community we have and what awesome people that you get to know, I can't think of a better one. Thank you guys.

George, you are the absolute best.

Thanks for the kind words. It was great to see you.

You're the guy who is going to make the name "George" great again in the 914 community.

Thanks man, I try my best.

so,
joe and his wife finally had a kid free day scheduled and you crashed the party, ate all the food, left dirty diapers strewn about, and snuck away while they watched your kid for you????

I would thank them too, maybe send them flowers.

That's pretty much how it went down. Me being all entitled and everything. Here's a picture of Joe dealing with the sun-down blues.

Damn, that's a good looking kid! Are you sure he's yours?

Entitled to what?

Looks like he dropped him

Entitled to beer mostly these days. Joe was doing his best to make him happy while I was fixing a bottle. #dadproblems

Nice to have friends
