Credit where credit is due, Michael Schumacher drove a great race today. It's hard to hide disappointment in the fact that he completed the first lap down about 15th and finishes the race in second, but if it was anyone else but Schumi, we'd think he was a star, so I guess he should have a well done.

Today, I almost managed to finish reading the whole of The Economist. I'm getting closer and closer every week, but my worry is that I won't ever actually reach my goal.
