Thanks for the nice wishes and whoa that does indeed suck!

Miss Arletta holds the DT record for staying in one of these things the longest. (Don't mean to embarrass you sistah, but...).

As far as the first day out look at it this way... you got it over with so it won't happen again for a while. I fully expect you to be there at the end of the next Santa Anita contest!

Anyway, best of luck everyone.

Good for you! I'm glad someone is still in.

So you're kinda like the Perfect Drift of these things, huh?

(That is a supreme complement, for the record. I love him. )

I couldn't decide between that one and Hope restored... I went with Ms. Hope so I'm out too (and would have been either way).

Yeah, that's about right. I even snagged my wife (now of 46 years) on the rebound off a bad breakup (her's)!
