Spent this beautiful, sunny, blue sky Friday at Monmouth Park. Monmouth Park is the local racetrack, otherwise known as the lushly landscaped pit into which one tosses money. This is a bad cell phone pic of Stormy Do, who quickly became known affectionately as Scooby Doo, and then, after I put $20 on him to place at 3-1 odds, promptly became known as Scooby Glue. (Kidding about the glue part.) I had such a great time there today, even though I left $40 lighter than when I entered. It was worth it just to watch these magnificent animals and to hang with some cool friends.

I know you were just kidding about Scooby Glue, but did you know the majority of racehorses are slaughtered after they retire from racing? It is so sad...I am a lifelong Kentuckian, and it breaks my heart to see this lovely creatures used and thrown away.
I love going to the track...haven't been down there in ages. Heck, haven't been to the Meadowlands in ages either. Can't bring a toddler to the track...or can I...hmm.
