Ryan- your Hawaiian shirt story made me smile, it reminds me of the movie Office Space!

Rave: Hubby coming home from fly-in fishing trip in Canada today! He's been incommunicado since Sunday! It's weird not to be able to tell him about my day!!

Rave: Go Smarty Go!!!

Rave: I have a new brother! Parents just picked up a 7 wk old Beagle puppy named Riley. He is SO cute! I can't wait for puppy kisses & to smell that puppy smell!

Rave: Never thought my folks would get a dog again after they lost their Fox Terrier last year!

Rave: I don't have a single rant!

Hey I do have a rant after all... I just missed a phone call from my brother who is on a 100ft yacht somewhere off the coast of Greece where he just finished dinner prepared by the yacht's chef. I'm ranting because I would have loved to talk to him, not because I'm jealous. And of course I am a wee bit jealous.

Faina-Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby and galloped away with the Preakness. First undefeated race horse going into the Belmont since Seattle Slew. It's also a story made for the movies. He was hurt severely when he reared up in the starting gate and they thought he wouldn't race again. His owner is 80 years old, in a wheelchair with oxygen. The jockey had personal problems ie booze and fights and turned his life around. Smarty races at Philadelphia Park and was named after the owner's mother in law. They are comparing him to the great Seabiscuit...

It's amazing what you can learn on this website! A horse racing in a wheelchair

Ani, if you can't rent this movie now, you'll have more fun watching it with your daughter in 2 years.
