I was. I had a crazy cousin and an even crazier uncle Andre that also took me . Andre let me drink wine and treated me like an adult. He saw Seabiscuit run, but always talked about a horse named Damaged Goods that he liked to bet on . I think the name came from injuries or a fire suffered when that one was a foal . He was a randy old Frenchman that looked like George Burns, and almost lived as long .
