I grew up in a sporting household, where the TV was just about always on to whatever sporting event, no matter how obscure, was being contested.

This weekend, however, I was indulging my “girly” side at a friend’s wedding in California … I took Friday off and didn’t get to spend much time on email.

So imagine my surprise when, reading through my weekend emails, I check out my Joost newsletter. Danica Patrick a NASCAR driver? Any self-respecting sports fan (or, for that matter, hot-blooded male) knows that she’s an IndyCar driver … a former Rookie of the Year, and the first woman ever to win an IndyCar event with her victory at the Indy Japan 300 this year.

But apparently, some of my colleagues are not as sporting-minded as I am, (nor as detail-oriented). On their behalf, I’d like to apologize to Danica, IndyCar and female drivers everywhere.

In order to make sure they don’t make this mistake again, I’m tasking my colleagues with watching the Danica and IndyCar shows and channels on Joost. And then I’m taking them out to the race track, where I plan to make them eat my diesel dust.
