1. What happened at the seminar? I thought I'd have seen at least 1 or 2 comments by now, & at one pt. was even considering a request that it also be "webcast", even though I'm not sure exactly what one is unless it includes live races on the internet. Of course, I had no idea I was behind a "firewall" either, & thought everybody gave cookies up for lent.

2. I have to renege on my promise to discuss the Fotias book on the ground that although it contains some interesting theories, it is not an appropriate topic for this Bd. For HP's benefit, I will mention that he quotes his late friend "Charts" as saying: "The rarest of human qualities is an open mind."

3. The derby talk is interesting at times, but isn't this another situation where patience is underrated? There are quite a few major preps which have yet to be run, Treadhead, so don't start eliminating horses from your HQ at Beulah. In fact, if for some bizarre reason Pitt loses in Lex on Thurs., I don't see any reason why I can't consider your Request for Parole on the way home on Sat., which may or may not be a good thing re your chances of getting out of jail before serving your full term.
