In honor of Lenny, who apparently has left the building:

I AM GOING WHOLE HOG, STARTING TODAY:

Early stakes up and over the jumps at Bel! (sacrilege not a single Long John
Sheppard entry to be found).

LIVE at Bel Friday.

Either a Bel/Parx doubleheader in Living Room Downs Saturday, or maybe a first
in at least 10 years live appearance at Parx.

Sunday will be devoted to wild card [i]beisbol[/i] and a football
doubleheader, possibly at a local tavern.

All of this while holding down a job, continuing the 15 year war with my wife
that some call marriage, regaling my 90 year old mother in law with detailed
stories of drug fueled orgies from the college days (she doesn't understand
but five or six words of English but always nods politely), somehow managing
all these activities while taking tranquilizers after last nights Met game.

Lenny, you'll be back. You'll play the nags again, you will. You just need a
little freshening. Around BC time you will be thinking about your big score on
Mongolian Saturday and you will be back, enjoying the greatest show on Earth.
