今日はメチャX２忙しい一日でした。午前中は家で仕事。インディー５００のアソシエートスポンサーの話が決まったので、その手配等でかなり大忙し。お昼は茂木に備えて国際免許の手続きをして、午後一は日産Altimaのハイブリッドを試乗。夕方は茂木＆５００についてミーティング。気がついたら５時過ぎで、なんだかあっと言う間の一日でした。

It was a super busy day today. I got up early to get a lot of work done in the morning and on a good note, we were able to sign an associate sponsorship deal for the 500 and there was lots to sort out getting ready for that. During lunch time, I had to go to AAA to renew my Intl Driving Permit so I can drive in Japan. I had to skip lunch and go off to a road test driving the Nissan Altima Hybrid. Right after that, I was off to a meeting to talk about Motegi & 500. When I realized it was already 5pm... What a busy day!!

今日は日曜だったのでお家でユックリ。ずっと息子と遊んで一緒に昼寝までしちゃいました。夕方にジムに行って今日は軽めのトレーニング。なんだか、週末もあっと言う間に終わってしまい、気がついたらもう４月に入っちゃう勢いですね・・・。

Since it was a Sunday,,,I slept in and relaxed through out the day, I managed to spend a lot of time playing with my son and I was able to take a nap with him too!! Went to the gym in the late afternoon and had a light work out. I can't believe we are already going to be in April...that means 1/3 of the year is already over!?! Time just flies doesn't it...

今日は待ちに待ったIndyCarシリーズの開幕戦。一日中楽しみにして、子供の入浴も早目に済まして、夕方５時前にテレビの前でスタンバイ。今回のレースからHD（ハイビジョン放送）だったので、楽しみにてました！！レースの内容は思っていた以上に荒れなかったのでビックリ・・・。しかし、それ以上に驚いたのはIRLとChampCarから来るチームの差・・・。どれだけ、IRLのチーム（オーバルレース）でのレベルが高いのかが証明されたレースで、だからこそスポットで茂木参戦する時の大変さを感じる内容だった気がします・・・・。だからこそ、いかに準備をしっかしてレースに備える重要さを実感しました。

Just got done watching the IRL race.I was looking forward for the broadcast since it was the first HD broadcast for the IRL race. The race was rather uneventful than I though it was going to be. Obviously the team and the drivers new that they were in short of parts and couldn't risk any crash damage... However, the most surprise was the speed difference between the IRL and ex-Champ Car teams. It just shows how competitive the series is and how difficult it is for the one off guys to show up and do well... Therefore, I will have a lot of preparation and homework to do before going to Motegi race.

後輩の英紀は残念ながらリタイヤ・・・。色々と難しい事はあると思いますが、ルーキードライバーとして、覚えて行く事を着実に経験していってるので今後は楽しみになると思います。開幕から期待したい所ですが、英紀は絶対にやってくれると思うので皆で応援しましょう！！って・・・、前に自分が頑張らないと！！今日のレースを見て、改めてIndyCarの難しさを実感しますが、全力で頑張りますので茂木ではいっぱいX100応援して下さいね！！

As for my buddy Hideki...it may have been rather disappointing race. However, I am sure he is going through learning curves that every drive has to go through and he is definitely in good hands at AGR. I'm sure he will be storing by mid season and I wish him the best for this season. But more importantly...I really need to get behind my program to be competitive at Motegi and Indy 500 based on the race from today at Homestead!!

今日は朝一にジムに行ってガッツリトレーニング。お昼から夕方までは家でお仕事。今週末は世の中が春休みだからどっか連れてってと言う妻のプレッシャーに負け、夕方からディズニーランドに行き、ディズニーパレードを見て帰ってきました。とりえず、息子も喜んでくれたので（むしろ妻の方が喜んでいた！？！）良かったX2!!

I went to the gym first thing in the morning and came home and finished couple of articles that I needed to get done. Since I was feeling the pressure to take my family somewhere during the spring break...I decided to take them to Disneyland for the parade tonight. I figured most people should be in Miami or Daytona Beach during Spring Break...but I totally forgot all the kids are going to be in Disneyland during this time. Obviously it was reallyX2 crowded but still managed to take couple of rides and see the parade. My son definitely seemed to enjoy being there but perhaps my wife seemed to enjoy it more. With Motegi and 500 coming up...I better keep my family happy!!

今日は午前中にラジオと雑誌のインタビュー。久しぶりのインタビューだったので気合いが入っちゃいました。インタビューが終わってからはインディージャパンでパートナーを組むInterush Racingのスタッフと茂木についてのミーティング。スケジュールやイベントの事を話し合い、気がついたらあっと言う間に２時。茂木の事を考えながら同時進行に５００の方もそろそろ感がなくてはいけないので、大変です。

I had a magazine and radio interview in the morning. I was excited about the interview and I think it will turn in to a great article!! After the interview, I had a lunch meeting with the guys from Interush Racing to talk about the plans for Motegi. We definitely need to get everything sorted out so all the fans and guests can have a good time at the Indy Japan race. At the same time, we have to move forward with the talks for the 500 and I hope to have something sorted out pretty soon!!

今日はこのまま、息子をお風呂にいれてご飯を食べてユックリって感じかな？明日はまた朝一からトレーニングで～す！

I just bathed my son, will have an early dinner tonight to prepare for a good work out tomorrow morning!!
