Great post NJS. I've always thought a lot of good handicappers have crossed my path over the years at this forum and sometimes I'm proved right. I wish in my 50 years of capping I had a story like that to tell but I'm still waiting.

Like RQ, I don't have any stories to match or even come close to that, but I still like to hear them. I was a little puzzled by your last sentence about it not meaning quite as much now for you as it might have in younger days, but I just had to think about my own younger days of way less affluence than today to get what you are saying. 6k would have been way more than I made my first year out of college.
