I'm sorry, but since I'm 5'8-1/2" I technically don't qualify in the midget category!

Killer hit by my man Bigs taking down GP like candy from a baby! Well done... Grace under fire - not even sweatin' the monster underlay in the last... Dude is as cool as the other side of the pillow

Great day one of the GPK invasion, full agenda of action on tap tomorrow for the TBD / Derby Lanes Double Header... Get Crackin'!!!

Dan, I had to convince Mrs. Bigs that it is GPK bobblehead day tomorrow at both places and my presence was needed for autograph sessions.

She bit ;-)

Nah, gotta 'cap tonight. Can't waste time with ice cream, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

GP pick 4 was a complete blind squirrel moment. Pure luck that the 15-1 firster wins going away in the last.

Great day, good times and we'll hit it again tomorrow. Gotta teach KGB what a Double Quinella bet is at the dog track.

Bigs, it's the Quinella Double, OK. This written by someone who has hit it many times (all right, maybe twice in 10 years, but who's counting).

Let me know if that's gonna happen. I'm only a hop and a skip from Derby Lane and might be able to come out and play.

Kev, this sounds like nothin' but *good times*... but I've got to be honest with you, Scav tells a better story - of course, that's because he lives a lot crazier life than you do, but still, he's the King of vacay stories.

Live 'n it up, get crazy, or I'm tunin' out








You know I love you, Big Guy
