What a treat. I can"t imagine. I went home to see my past and it was a Korean
hospital parking lot. NOT memory lane. Hope yours was a good visit. |

| I didn't see it but are you talking about a horse track in Delaware? I think some of them are offering slot machines now. Fill us in. |

| Slots now but when I was a kid Racing was the only game in town.Delaware Park was owned by the duPont family and they ran it as an upscale place trying to emulate the English with their ``Darby''.A couple of months of racing which was fun and the other 10 months the 700 acres were ours.Could not think of a better place to be a kid.Fortunately that was such a sheltered life I never did get ambitious.Spent my whole life climbing mountains to see what I could see instead of ``getting ahead''. |

| Pete that is probably the best way to have lived your life. Maybe the cause of living longer too, without the stress of trying to "get ahead". I was missing work a few days ago, until I spoke with an ex-coworker and he informed me of the dog eat dog world out there and it made me realize it is nice to be retired. Now I only miss the employees. |
