Apparently making $$ was good, but making $$ from gambling was something not be made known in "good social circles" or something. I was always kinda proud of those signers. ![]() (my current wife loves 'em.....she laughs and shares stories with friends about my occasional gambling prowess....) |

One of my ex-girlfriends, who's very cool, spent her summers in the Hamptons ( obviously without me ) and her friends used to give her a hard time about me being a horseplayer and hanging out at the track. She was very happy when they once snidely asked her how I was doing at the track and she got to tell them I hit a Pick-6 for $141K a few days earlier. They stopped asking her about me.

Especially good with the "spent her summers in the Hamptons" detail! True story, I was in a bar with some horse players a few days ago and was razzing some guy in his mid-20's when he inquired about a bottle of "chartreuse" that had somehow made it behind the bar in this non-uppity establishment. It was one of those great gambling story and trivia sharing late afternoons, and the totally cool kid let me know that "chartreuse" was a favored drink component of F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby guy). Points to the kid. I was impressed with the off the cuff trivia. He knew nothing of Nashua and the Woodwards, however. ![]() |

![]() Boy, this tax stuff is confusing. This is why I make it a point to not cash any big winners all year.
