In honor of 'Gracie' at the race track
Gracie,
Kathy and I went all-out today (Sunday) and placed a huge bet at the Turfway Race Track in Northern Kentucky.
We bet $$$ -- I think it was $6 -- on 2 horses in an 8-horse, 4th race of the day:
Horse # 4, Fallen from Grace, and
Horse # 6, Grace's Miracle.
Unfortunately, a miracle didn't happen, and both of our entries fell from grace. The winning horses were #7, #1, and #5.
Thus, as of today I am giving up my Diet Cokes for 21 days and will substitute water as my beverage of choice during this period of time. We have got to recover our huge bet tab for the day, so we can still make our February trip to The Villages, (aka, Paradise).
You will probably see me leaner in early February, when we arrive TV (Feb. 5-12). I am allowing Kathy to continue with her Diet Cokes. No sense that we both punish ourselves for a ... bad day at the track. Next time we will simply choose 'Lucky Lucy'...as our bet in Race 4 of the day..
Gene
ps: We still love 'ya!
