persona

Ah, opinions. I have a lot of them. As time’s gone on, I feel I’ve done a better job of learning when to keep my big mouth shut. You could very well view each entry below as an instance of my failing to do so. Still, not every one of these posts will be a rant. Sometimes I just like to hear myself talk

A day at the races...

Yesterday marked my annual pilgrimage to Saratoga Racetrack in Saratoga Springs, NY to watch the horse races.  I’ve made it there at least once a season for the past five years, and the place never seems to disappoint.  I’ve never been that big a winner (probably because I’m really not that big of a gambler).  I lost a bit yesterday—a grand total of $4.60, but most of that was due to completely reckless betting during race five.  All of my winnings yesterday were either due to “wins” or “shows”, though I did give a few quinella and trifecta bets a try.  Despite how ridiculously hot it was out in the sun, it was a really good time.  Considering my weekends are pretty much booked from now through Labor Day, I’m doubtful I’ll make it back before the season’s end.  Still, there’s always 2008!  Till Next Time—

Well I lost more than $4.60. And next year we'll all be crashing at 1020!
