Blissful Ignorance

I read "the Great Gatsby" for the first time in the fifth grade. That was probably my introduction to a real novel. It had some amazing characters in it, but the one that seemed the most tragic was the young and impressionable Daisy. I often hear her referred to as "blissfully ignorant," and that pretty much fits. Daisy is, for a majority of the novel, happily unaware of what transpires in the world she happily frolics in. This is probably for the best, because if young Daisy were to have the burdens of life laid to rest on her doorstep, life would not be so much like a "Doris Day Film Festival."
The reason I am using this analogy is to raise a point to all of you. Racing and riding should be a fun and "blissfully ignorant" thing for all of you to do. In light of the recent events with the girls, I would encourage all of you to please NOT take sides, or get caught up in any of it. There is not a single one of you who knows everything about this situation, and for the greater common good, should continue to be unaware of the day to day operations of a twenty-plus member operation. I wrote a short and quick blog page on Monday night, after the meeting, at 11:30 pm, and was extraordinarily tired from a long day at work. I felt the information was important enough to post, but did not have the time or mental faculties to calmly and objectively hammer out a multi-page retrospective. Tonight is my work Christmas party, so it probably won't be tonight, either. In any case, enjoy your friends, enjoy your rides, and let's move along, in blissful ignorance.
