Beers 3 and 4 were consumed at around 11AM at GP. I think we were slacking. HAHA

yea toga is a different place. We went to workouts every morning twice at the Oklahoma track and once at the main track (where they have a great buffett style breakfast) so everything is pushed up by 2 hrs including bed times.
EVERYTHING there seems to revolve around horses and that's why I'd think you'd like it as much as we all do. My question is why did it take me so long to find the place? You'll find it 20 years sooner than I did. The place is GP times 10.

I can hardly wait... give me a call if you get a chance. I need to find out about the hotel situation and what not. I'm going to look into booking my flight in the next couple of weeks.
