I do that, "NO BRO, don't do that" TC scoulds  . (You can't do it on race day becuase of the possibility that you might slip them something) Say hi and try and take out camera. ****ING A. DAMN BATTERIES won't ****ING work on the camera, just my recent luck. Pull out the camera phone and Byk blazes one up. Sumwon SMELLS the peppermints in my lower pocket, tries to get them and starts stamping the ground. Got to see lasix given to her, took the needle like a PRO |
I felt the same way when Steve took Matt and me on the backstretch to meet Bernardini, Invasor, Henny Hughes, Songster, Balletto, etc. last summer.
Glad you had fun, and yes, Steve, Chuck and Willie are all very cool people.
