Boy the month of October has been a busy one for me. Every weekend has been booked and planned far
in advance. October 5th and 6th
I competed in an SCCA Solo event. For
those of you who do not know, the SCCA is the Sports Car Club of America and
one of the major sponsoring organizations in Auto Racing. And solo is a type of racing where you compete
one at time on a road course laid out with cones, usually in a large parking
lot. Cars are classified as per engine
size and modifications made to the car so as to make things fair. Then the cars are timed and awards given out
at the end of the day. This is a great
way to get into motorsports which is both relatively safe and cheap!
On October 10th through the 13th, New
York Was host to the NYC Comicon. A
great event if you are into Comic books, Cartoons, Video Games or any other
type of pop culture. I was there for 3
of the 4 days and had a blast. I
purchased some books I needed to complete sets and had a chance to meet some
very interesting people.
On the 20th,
I returned from one of my favorite places to visit in October. Salem, Massachusetts. They
bill themselves as the “Witch City”. We
were there with some friends to enjoy the sights, sounds and of course the libations
for the weekend. If you have never been
to Salem around Halloween, then you don’t know what you are missing. The costumes are unbelievable. If you can be there for Halloween night you
will see some costumes that will leave you amazed. Every year I see costumes better than the
year before. Unfortunately this year I
could not make it for Halloween but the weekend before was loads of fun too.
On October 26 I will be attending the Photoplus Expo at the
Javits Center in New York City. This is
one of the major Photography Shows on the East Coast. My daughter and I attend every year and love
seeing what’s new in the world of photography.
What do these four (4) events have in common? Actually very little but they do give me a
wealth of ideas and experiences to use in my fiction. Write what you know about, how many times have
you heard that refrain? It does make
sense, and besides it’s fun to experience things in life. So get out there and live, and don’t forget
to write about it after!
