Ramblings of an EdMan

I’m really happy Spring comes back tomorrow with longer days and coming green.

I could use some rebirth after a very difficult 2019 so far.

We had some funky clothes after cleaning with the fire and instead of using the extraordinarily expensive service over an hour away we used our local laundromat.

From pick up to delivery was around 9 hours not a week and a half. For about a tenth the cost.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by laundry don’t forget about fluff and fold. It’s a game changer.

Going to be four years in 2 1/2 months and it’s one of my favorite practices. And I had a friend do day one today.

I decided to check out Formula One Qualifying after flying through “Formula One: Drive to Survive” on Netflix. I remember from watching some Formula One earlier that it’s much easier to get a good result from qualifying than overtaking in the race.

And it’s tense to see which 5 drivers won’t get into q2, 20 start, 5 are eliminated. And to q3, with only ten spaces.

Unlike NASCAR where it’s pretty easy to pass and qualifying means less, it’s hard to do well in Formula One if you start say 20th.

I DVR’d the Australia Formula One race that starts at 12:30am tomorrow and I will see if knowing more about the teams from the Netflix show makes it more interesting. It should be fun.

Very enjoyable television show. I hope it goes a few more seasons and keeps developing the character. I feel like her story just started. Not as fabulous as the Lindy West book of the same name. Book ***1/2 TV Show ***
