Good morning, all.

I slept in today—late last night I had a battle with a wasp that somehow got into the house. I won, but 'twas a Phyrric victory—he really stung me, so it took me a couple of hours for my finger to calm down enough so I could get to sleep.

The first of two fun weeks of racing: this weekend, NASCAR is the Circuit of the Americas for the first time, F1 is at Monaco, and there's Indy 500 qualifying, where 222 mph is slow this year.

Gris, Mecum is advertising their auction in Tulsa next month.
