Zzzz ... UPDATED with F1 video link

Tried going to sleep too early tonight ... and woke up a little after midnight feeling like I'd just taken a nap.

So instead of counting sheep to fall back asleep, I started trying to decide which kind of athlete I'd rather be:

1. Downhill Skier
The idea of riding two plastic boards down a mountainside at 80mph with no steering wheel always had a certain appeal. But then, the appeal of unbroken bones and skull fracture avoidance is far greater.

2. Jai alai pelotare
Eh, this one deserves an entire post to itself. Maybe another time. (see Joey warming up)

3. Formula 1 Race Car Driver
Driving 160mph through downtown Monte Carlo this coming Sunday must be exhilarating. But surely not so much as this.
