The end of another traditional work-week is near: “finally Friday”! Feels good to be back at work after a nearly 4-year absence from the workforce, not by choice; nice to be in a small company where I feel like I actually contribute. While my work-week is Monday-Friday, how many of you work a non-traditional schedule?

Meantime, we’re entering the last weekend of voting for the Search For A Champion Spark Plugs Amateur Group. OC,SHer CHRIS L S son, Thomas “Lil Red” Schwarz is vying for the grand prize:

Tommy exemplifies the “strong hearts” part of “Old Cars, Strong Hearts”. While he doesn’t have a Congenital Heart Defect, a chronic illness related to his digestive system makes him small for his age. His family works to keep him hydrated & fed with “energy foods” on race days. Daily voting ends Wednesday, 03/23/2016, so please vote for him once a day HERE. Registration is easy; you can log in via your Facebook account, & you don’t have to give your info to be a voter. YOUR votes during January 2016 helped him win $1,000 & entry to the finalist round; your votes NOW could help him win $10,000 … which would go a long way for the 2016 racing season.
