We were at the Monticello Motor Club, where for reasons known only to God and the angels that had abandoned him I had decided to become a member despite not having even driven a car for the prior 4 years.

My passenger was a professional race car driver and instructor with thick arms that I could see tense as he held to the side of the passenger seat, as if he had a better chance of jumping out in a worst-case scenario than risking whatever death I was getting ready to plunge into. Which starts to tell the story of how I ended up in mid 2008 going 120 miles per hour on a racetrack in the new Ferrari 527M Maranello. God wanted my daughters to be born, however, so somehow this fate was spared me. Supposedly when you go through a glass window your penis and testicles get sliced to shreds.

I went straight through the glass of the car window but was miraculously unscathed. So, naturally, I was daydreaming about it while cruising past a stop sign at sixty miles an hour.įour white picket fences on all four corners were destroyed and the 70 year old man in the station wagon that happened to find himself that split second in the same intersection as me (but he got there first), broke his leg, barely surviving. I had sacrificed my queen and three moves later it was mate. I had just beaten the US champion in a game of blitz chess. One time, I almost killed a 70 year old man when I went right through a stop sign while daydreaming about a chess lesson when I was 17 years old. It’s been taken away from me more than once.

(The Monticello Racetrack I was driving 120mph on) Altogether you might end up at least crippled, brain damaged, or with several limbs sliced off in emergency roadside surgery. Throw in the fact that you are about to get divorced, that once again you are losing a ton of money, that you have a lot of people you are angry at and who actually wouldn’t mind if you were dead, and on top of it you had semi-suicidal tendencies.
