The NOT so Amazing Race


I know, I know. 2 posts in one day---from the woman who's barely been managing two posts a month. I truly hope that the 3 of you non relatives non ex husbands non ex boyfriends who are reading this, don't suffer any detrimental shock or eyestrain.

Some of you know that I hide a dark secret. While I have never in my life paid for cable I watch not less than 4 reality television shows on the (gasp) computer. One is the Amazing (ish) Race on CBS. (I will not be disclosing the other 3 or more assuming deserved ridicule.) Anyway: it seems like each season there is one pair of racers that manage to travel the globe being absolutely horrible to everyone--their competitors, airline employees, each other, and most notably taxi drivers. While it's quite easy to mock them for their rudeness--and inability to understand why the entire universe doesn't speak English--it's done something positive for me. Watching people be horrible to those who are providing service to them, makes me nicer to nearly everyone. Now if Hell's Kitchen (gasp) would just inspire me to cook!
