I liked how pulled pork helped to "galvanize" your writing. I hadn't heard of anyone whose muse was processed meat and barbecue sauce.
You're Sui Generis, Byk.

Awfully nice Chris.. The Barbecue did truly start everything, and galvanize is the right word. The 2001 Derby trip -- my first -- is what more or less kickstarted my wanting to try to write and broadcast again. And that summer I started running the Carousel cafe at Saratoga and began meeting owners, trainers and industry stakeholders. It went forward from there. To be honest, if I had tried to plan to put together what I've been doing these last 10 years, it wouldn't be possible. It just happened the way it happened. And I'm very grateful...
And if I'm Sui Generis, where does that put you???
