My Mortal Enemy

The racetrack is like a big organism with a sensitive membrane. You stimulate the membrane at one end and you better believe they are going to feel it at the other end instantaneously. Donna Pizarro told Josie di Paulo a funny joke. The joke goes: "They are going to investigate Terry Jordan...." ( a trainer with an improbably high win percentage, everyone thinks he's using something)..pause..." for finishing second in the stake race".

Dog Days of Summer

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard – Thomas Gray 1716-1771

Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Field of wildflowers at Jane and Steeles at 4:00 pm. Just read Paula Zulauf Malet's obit. I am very sad for her. Only 50 years old. Just saw her last summer cleaning out her parent's house to be sold.
I almost died 2 summers ago June 2nd on a stretch of lonely QEW in Niagara Falls. It was a Saturday night. How precious and short is this life we have. Millions of seeds scattering. Wildflowers strong and vibrant will live forever.
