Just returned from the OTB after this afternoons' Kentucky Derby, with a pocketful o' cash. You see sometimes the longshots payoff...this was one of those times. If you bet on Giacomo, you were a big winner, at 50 to 1. Giacomo returned $102.60 on a $2 win ticket. I bet $100 on Giacomo, so you do the math.

I'm thinking of a new car.

I always lay done some larger bills on the serious underdogs. It worked for once.

No way Jose. I don't believe in luck, but if there is luck I don't want to blow it. Maybe I'll buy some powerballs' and scratch-offs.
