Gen X wakes up...

Whoa, what the? Look mom, a blog...

I've been getting a little Facebook-weary lately (or was it wary?). Anyway, I heard they had new backgrounds and "stuff" on blogger, so I thought I might go experiment. We'll see what happens...they have some cool new ideas for "themes," but apparently I need to put more images into my blog.

Easy there...let's just see if you can update the damn thing more than once a decade!



This goes out to all my Gen X bruthas and sistahs out there...you know who you are...we know where you live.


Cheers,

the countdown...

Del Mar and Saratoga get rolling, or running, this week...must be time to roll up our sleeves and leave work early to head for the track (or at least somewhere that will take bets). I'm looking forward to finding some choice longshots at both and (perhaps) getting a glimpse at next year's Derby prospects at the same time.


Cheers,
B

there's our boy...

...looking ready for the test of champions today.

When the trainer says at the end of the bullet work "most good horses that I've ever had would put in that kind of work" keep in mind that it's Bill Mott...who trained Cigar.

Drosselmeyer over Ice Box, Fly Down and Dave in Dixie (not necessarily in that order).


Bet early, bet often,
B

a sad day at pauley

The Wizard owned college basketball...and will for decades to come.

big news day...

So, to summarize...Dio dead. Pot Cheap. Miss America, good at pole dancing.


Good night...and have a pleasant tomorrow.

economic casualties...

And this is bad how? Perhaps they need a branding consultant to differentiate their product?

horns up...

RIP, RJD.
