I saw nadired, knew what he meant, and didn't know it was wrong. Of course it would not be hard to slip one past me.

What made me pause was "Charm City". I had never heard that one. Byk has a flair with words for sure.

Thx all for the kind words.. glad folks enjoyed the summation.. It bothers me that I've done so little writing this DT campaign..

'Nadired' is a word of my own creation.. (Would 'zenithed' have been better?).. It joins other racing lexicon I've tried to pioneer like 'neckjob' and 'rednut'..

'Charm City' however, is the long-time nickname of the City of Bal'more..

Next year maybe we can get a daily "snapshot" of what's happening on the backstretch (you know, in all your spare time ...). Along with the cell phone permanently embedded in your ear, I think you need to carry a laptop

Great writeup, as usual - thanks!

I've always wondered what the charm was about Baltimore anyway. And why do they call Pimlico "Old Hilltop?"
