Yep, you stole my thunder I had after just reading the initial lament.

This is certainly not politically correct, but I'd do my darndest to "romance" that lady to my way of thinking.....



I've been to racetracks all by myself (cue, Eric Carmen) all around the US and Canada and enjoyed each and every one.

My time at The Belmont with an unexpected new found that day chick was one of my faves though.....


Assert your manhood...

What? I love "kerfuffle"!

I haven't seen very much of Little Britain, though I admit to being a Tom Baker fan.

hope you're feeling better today merlinsky...

Aw thanks, I appreciate the support everybody. Still suffering from what I'm calling "Ho Chi Minh's Revenge" but it's controllable to a point. I lost a day of excursions basically beyond our meetings today, but I think we're doing Macau tomorrow as a group. My bowels aren't being 100% cooperative, but I won't crap myself on the ferry thanks to some amount of self-control. I just need frequent bathroom breaks. I held my supper down successfully thus far. The wine might've helped. ;) I figured it would either help me feel better or not care that I felt bad. When I heard about Sunday being the next big race day it just about made me ill again. I am determined to get a good view of the track but my great plan of going and taking pictures for everybody probably won't work out. I got some blurry ones as we went by.

My big goal in life, as awesome as this is, is to go to Melbourne Cup day. Okay maybe I want to do other things, but seriously I'd put that right up there. I suppose I should keep the illness-in-Hong-Kong situation under perspective. I got to listen to races on the internet though and discovered my hotel had a racing channel. All was not entirely lost. Now I shall drag myself back into bed momentarily. Must make it to Macau without causing an international intestinal incident.

You're gonna love Macau! Bring lots of money! and the ride there is fun too!If you can,how bout a few pics from Victoria Peak??

PC ruined this country....

my mind is else where. The first time I read this I thought it said "insert your manhood..."

Now there's a Derby Trail field trip if ever I saw one... ;)

Glad you're feeling a little bit better, anyway. Your attitude has certainly been awesome, under really crummy circumstances! Hope Macau is a great day.
