Joel Stein: "Now I get it"

[casp0555]

Reminds me of when my wife finally came to Sam Houston with me. We were in the grandstand and she went downstairs for a smoke break. She did not come back for about 30/45 minutes. When she did, she was all wide-eyed and excited. She says " Did you know that the horses are right out there!" pointing in the direction of the paddock. I told her that she missed the race and she didn't care, she was going back out to see the jockeys and horses for the next race.
Also, I have been trying to get my 14 yo son to go with me to Sam Houston for simulcasting and he flat out has refused. No biggy, not forcing the kid to do this. This past weekend, I asked him to go with me opening night at SHRP and he said "Sure!". I asked why the change of heart and he tells me that " He will go and watch the races live but has no interest in watching them on TV". Baby steps I said to myself....baby steps
