Another lost Sunday
It’s another bright, sunny fall Sunday morning in Indianapolis with an expected high temperature of 58° F, and here I sit in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport once again staring at the same scenery. Does this sound familiar? I think I was sitting in the same area in the C Concourse across from the sbarro – Fresh Italian Cooking restaurant, at the same table blogging to you all from the same table a couple weeks ago. Once again, what’s wrong with this picture?

So, what would I be doing if I had my Sunday back? You guessed it! Yet another late autumn opportunity to stretch the legs of a favorite Italian steed now tucked away in the family room with few unlikely opportunities left this season to ride. Yup, you heard me right. For the winter months, my stable of two-wheeled steeds gets to hang out in a nice climate-controlled family room area of my house. If I can’t ride them, why not display them as any great works of art should be treated? A cold, damp garage during the “dark half” of the year is no place to keep beautiful examples of Italian craftsmanship.

Last Saturday, Eallra Hālgena ǽfen, which we all learned last week is now known as Halloween, the eve of All Saints’ Day, turned out to be a decent but a chilly 50° F day. My friends up at Ducati Indianapolis put on a very festive Halloween celebration at the dealership in Zionsville, Ind., on the far north end of Indianapolis. Maggie Carr especially enjoys putting out a festive display of Halloween decorations and treats. I guess my normal riding gear might qualify as a Halloween costume this time of the year.

Well, it’s getting close to departure time for my flight on to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, so I’ll wrap it up for this week,and I’ll see you all here next week at www.redbullindianapolisgp.com
