Where The Turf Meets The Surf Spent the afternoon and evening at the Del Mar Racetrack. It was closing day, and the 9-11 ceremonies were really moving. NYC cops, firefighters and San Diego firefighters worked together to spread a football field sized US flag over the track. Meanwhile, my fey wife managed to pick the winners in 7 of 8 races. If I didn't know better, I'd call it luck. Too bad she only makes $2 bets. 9:09:52 PM

It's 9-11, and insomnia has me in its grip. Getting up at 4am makes for a long day. It's hard not to get sucked in to the media frenzy surrounding this day. Feels like we should be staying home, reflecting quietly, rather than reliving the thing over and over. 5:20:23 AM
