Something Pippa REALLY objected to was it was originally going to be called something like "The Handmaiden's Series", which she found really offensive.

On the bright side, you taped a good IMSA race from Lime Rock (even though they went to a commercial with about five minutes left in the race). It was supposed to air (tape delayed from the afternoon) AFTER the IndyCar race at 2130, but they upped the time due to the Iowa weather.

So, the fans who set their tapes to start at 2130 got the IMSA race with about 30 minutes left. The fans who set their tapes to watch the IndyCars ran out of tape.

I've had worse things happen this week.....
