For this Contessa is a good guy. I should have remembered this last weekend when Successful Affair blew by to get the win in the Gallant Fox, as curses came flying out of my mouth like George Carlin.

Tim,
Good for Contessa, and also for Golden Tent.
And since you mentioned George Carlin.... one of my faves, no curses.
Just a wish:
"Remember.........
Spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will
grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with
your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and
an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give
time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
George Carlin
