Circuit of the Americas - F1 Race, Followed by Thanksgiving and a few other updates...

 
Ok wow. Time has run away from me.  I went on an ALL-TIME spectacular trip to Austin, Texas.  For the F1 Grand prix.  The place was CRAZY! between the celeb watching, race watching, waking up at 4am and leaving the track at 5pm - I got a cold, cold feet and less sleep than I would care for.

But in the end, it was ALL worth it.  I had so much fun indulging in one of my passions. The drive was very long. 14 hours to be exact.  And we got a speeding fine in New Mexico. Boo!  Other than that, it was smooth and flawless.  We shared a house that we rented with a bunch of friends, it  was like college dorm room style. Pretty fun, lots of good food, laughs and conversation.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving came round rather quickly after the Austin trp.. and I was rather unprepared. Also, wasnt feeling well, so I bought turkey (as one does) and just ate in front of the tv and napped. :)  Wasnt very blog worthy really. But worth a mention, since it was my 6th one since I moved to the USA.


Leaving the man for another man. 
Just before that heading gets confusing.. By "the man" I am refering to my job! Leaving the corporation who has owned my time for the past 3 years. It was a hard decision at first until the "other man" offered me an offer I couldnt refuse.. amazing how easy money makes your life decisions!! But apart from the money, it was just time...

So, I decided to take a week off and go have a great fun time in Vegas.  And then bum around, get my head screwed on straight in order to start this new year.. new adventure..

That's the very short version of the past events. 

Here are some pics to catch you up.. and I have a good blog post coming soon. Which includes my first week at the new job and some thoughts about 2012.. as it comes to a close.








This has undoubtedly been a TOUGH year... and that tough-rough handling of me by life has made me a tough cookie, battered and bruised, but not crushed!.. watch.. this... space.. for more details.
