You and me both, Mike... I had an awful weekend too. It seems like everyone around me had an awful weekend.

That sucks about your guy's weekend. My weekend was uneventful. Friday went out to eat and the home early for bed. Saturday our couch was suppose to arrive but it didnt so I went to the track. Sunday, I went shopping and helped clean a little. A nice boring married life weekend.

Yeah, things never seem to go like you think they will. Woke up Friday morning excited that nice weather was coming in, that a great weekend of racing was on tap, and that I had a deal done. Delusions of a wonderful weekend swirled through my head. By Saturday night I couldnt wait for it to be over. Its why I usually try to keep expectations low, the disappointment isn't nearly as severe when you don't expect much in the first place.

I had a week like that about a month ago. A very elderly family member passed after a long illness. I spent a week doing nothing but being sad, making arrangements and driving back and forth to the airport more times than I can honestly remember. Didn't make a single wager (not a big deal) and didn't read a paper or look at the market for the whole week. S&P wound up down 6-7% for the week and I did a triple take when I finally clicked open my account.

But things do get better, they always do. Just makes you mindful there is always much to be thankful for.
