I got off work late Friday night, and went down the street to the race track, to bet some ponies.....The live racing had just ended, so I said fuck it, and made some bets for a few races, at a racetrack called Cal-Expo....I just bet my LUCKY numbers for the last 3 races, and jumped in my car and went home. I woke up Saturday morning, made some coffee, and jumped on the computer, checked the race results, to see if I was lucky......

Ummmmm.......

I WAS LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!

$1500.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Then Kathy says.....

    "You do realize tomorrow is Mothers Day"?????


    That was the end of that...hehehehehe

    I was no way in hell, blowing off Mothers Day, for a Pearl Jam show......

    I have somewhat gotten control of my obsession....

    NO SHOWS in 2008.....
    NO SHOWS in 2010......

    I am actually happy with myself.....

    I am too damned old, to be traveling every year, for a band I have seen 35 times....They are the best live band on the planet....But I dont need to spend thousands of dollars, every year to see them......

    When Kathy and I arrive in Florida in 6 weeks......I will be fucking THRILLED I didnt waste my money on Pearl Jam.....

    How can you not like horse racing????

    Take a 1500lb. animal, strap a midget on its back, give the midget a whip, and have the animal run as fast as it can, for a mile???? HOLY FUCK!!! Who thought of that?????

    PLUS...

    They allow you to bet on these midgets?????

    It doesnt get any better!!!!
