*sigh* long day

So I survived an evil doctor's appointment at evil St Catherine's and suchlike. It was pretty awful. I hate hospitals and the like. After that, though, we ate lunch at Quizno's in Gurnee and got milkshakes at Steak 'n' Shake. Then we stopped at the little music shop I noticed in Deerfield. I spent a long time there. And I got four new music books there (a clarinet method book (huge) and a jazz violin book and a vocal songs and arias book and a book full of double-stop exercises for violin) and then, after I left, I realized that they had chromatic pitch-pipes, and they were shiny, and I really wanted one, but we were already almost to the track, so that project is saved for another day. Chromatic pitch-pipe. Then I'll only need one pitch pipe for everything, and I'll have it.

At the track, there wasn't too much of interest, except that it was the first night that actually got cold. I was freezing by the end. In the Pro/1/2 field, however, we had five UCI riders (Chris Mesora (Delta Faucet), Dan Holloway (VMG), Emile Abraham (Priority Health), Adam Bergman (Colavita), and Todd Yezefsky(Nerac)) and they certainly spiced the racing action a bit. However, they did have some competition amongst the local 1's and 2's. Good racing tonight. No one fell down tonight, which is a rarity at Northbrook. It was a good night though, except for the cold.
