New Job and Fireball Run

I started a new job last week. Well not new. Just a new location. The manager at the last place had been slowly stealing my soul. I'm sure of it. Siphoning off little pieces of it to make herself forever young. I don't think it worked. But I escaped! And so far the new place is... fantastic. I'm not coming home at night just hating the world. I'm not waking up in the morning, laying in bed wondering if my job could survive another day off "sick." I feel so much better already, I'm hoping things are only up from here.

I even feel like writing some again. Haven't done it yet...

So this week there's this really fantastic road rally... race... thing going on. I'm not sure what to call it exactly. It's called Fireball Run. (Website  Facebook  Twitter) There's 40 or so teams "racing" to get from Longmont, Co to Riverside, Ca stopping at several smaller towns along the way. Each team sponsors a missing child. Since this began they've actually raised the money to find, like, 30 kids or something. It's pretty amazing. The winner is decided on points. They gain points for spending money in the towns and completing missions in each town. They lose points for things like going over the speed limit. The winner gets bragging rights and the knowledge they've helped the economy in these small towns and, of course, raised money for the missing children.

Well today they are in MY hometown. Which is pretty amazing. Page is never involved in these national things. Which is too bad considering everything to do there. And everything that's been done there. All the movies and such. Seriously. Check out the list of movies. Very, very incomplete list. It's the most complete I could find, but not all of them by far. It's very dear to me because my dad helped on so many of them.

Anyway. Some of the drivers have been posting pictures to twitter. These were some of my favorites that I found.
