I was thinking of you and nopie just a few days ago, wondering how he was. Glad to hear he's doing well.

DC - thank you so much for the update. I just finished reading Beyond the Homestretch and Nopie came to mind. I am so happy that he is well and on the mend. I hope he has a wonderful birthday and you continue to be in awe of our equine heroes; I know I will.

Of course! We can take this to PM's of course. But "a horse is a horse, of course of course...." (How old does one have to be these days to have a chance of remembering Wilbur and Mr. Ed?) My wife has a photography class in Berkeley next Saturday, and then the next Saturday we're flying to Auburn to check out the school of engineering for my youngest kid. My original plan was to drop my wife off in Berkeley next Saturday, then maybe head to The City via BART to have a nice day of drinking and socializing then to BART back to Berkeley and let her drive home. If you happen to have plans to be at Golden Gate Fields next Saturday, let me know and maybe I can alter plans. Other than totaling my truck at 8,000 feet near Kirkwood Ski Resort the last weekend of January, it's been a pretty "lucky" year thus far and my bankroll is currently flush with designated gambling lettuce. I had a night at the blackjack tables in Reno on December 30 that is one of those that gamblers dream about. Fortunately I had the drunken presence of mind into the late night hours to take the elevator up to the room and leave at least a couple four digit profit deposits with my sleeping wife for safekeeping. "Fortunately," because when I finally retired for "the night" at about 7:30 AM on the 31st my pockets were empty of gambling cash on the last ride up. But, I did enjoy lots of "free" alcohol until the sun came up. I took gambling off for New Year's Eve and concentrated on making certain my "forgiving of my vices" wife knew I really appreciated her. We ate and drank and danced well this past New Year's Eve...... The luck has carried into 2010. I've only had one losing day thus far, and even had a single solid bet on the first player to score a TD in the Super Bowl at 10-1. And I had a solid bet on Indianapolis - 1/2 in the 1st quarter. Both bets clicked. I have yet to cash those in. I'll send small bet tickets to Nevada to get a check in the mail, but when they get a bit larger I prefer to cash and collect in person. My wife isn't too thrilled about driving back over the Sierra anytime soon to collect in person. I didn't have the truck in 4WD when we hit black ice and flipped it and almost went down the mountain embankment near Caples Lake on Highway 88. We were both unscathed and pulled our way up out of the truck on it's side and we emerged and leaped off like miraculously fine NASCAR drivers after a big crash. The good samaritans who had come to our immediate aid on the road side were astonished. Come to think of it, I was lucky that day, too! Last edited by westcoastinvader : 02-21-2010 at 09:13 PM.
