I completely forgot that this was Memorial Day weekend. I guess that's what working does to you. Does anybody have any bets for the weekend? Anything you're especially excited about?

I've got $50 on Danica to win the Indy 500. Just so I can say I told ya so if she wins! LOL

I don't doubt that Danica could do it. She is one tough cookie, and not only that, an amazingly good racer. I would put money on her, no doubt about it.
