Well the intention was there…

Posted by in 1997 Elton John World Tour

…but I didn’t manage to get up before 10.30… I just made it before the 11am breakfast curfew, and then I did some office work.. paying bills (by phone), doing my road expenses, boring stuff… sending a few e mails to people back home.. until I suddenly realised it was my Dad’s birthday today. So I e mailed him a “virtual” card, via my sister’s e mail address…

Davey, Bob, Guy and JJ have gone back to LA for the two days off… John Mahon has gone to see family in Ohio…AT 2pm I went to the nearby Imax theatre and saw a brilliant movie on Indycars, with Michael & Mario Andretti. Made me feel really homesick, and really frustrated that I wasn’t able to finish my racing season this year. I managed 9 races this year, but had to miss the last three, because we came out here… And NEXT year is a washout (What with the tour etc…) …. Oh well.. 1999 will be the year I do an entire season in sports prototypes.After the Imax, I did 50 lengths of the pool, and 12 minutes on a Life cycle, followed by some weights (mainly upper body, to keep the stamina up for the gigs).This evening, the remaining members of the party, Keith Bradley, Billy Trudel, Clive Franks, DC and I went to a restaurant about 15 minutes away (by cab). It was a welcome break from the inner city monotony… and the food was great… Back at the hotel I watched the football for a while until my eyes started to close…..
