I'm like Mom, I have a good job here in Ohio but hey I am open to more cash always

About an hour after I hang up it dawns on me - their is no friggin live Horse Racing near this town. Am I a degenerate or what. I mean I got Churchill and Keeneland within 3 1/2 hours and all kinds of other tracks within shorter distance.

Am I just nuts or what?

Well you might be a degenrate..... are you nuts? It depends...

Some come to love the Southeast, we loved Charlotte for 5 years and vacationed in Charleston. Do you like warm weather, no snow, ocean, year round golf, knats..... It kind of depends where you live now. Really depends on can you get a job you like and how does the pay equate on a cost of living basis....

Saying you are 3+ hours from really good racing is not that big a deal really, you can probably fly to any of the tracks you now go to, or maybe others in the same amount of time. Many issue to consider beyond access to racing... I bet every day, live in CT and am less than 2.5 hours from BEL AQU and SAR, and still only end up going to see live racing less than 7 days a year on average.

Good luck, but I would check it out if you and your mom get along...
