This afternoon I walked for 49:44 primarily with B.J. on a Hash run from a house in Bryant that belongs to Nathan, Cassandra's boyfriend, who this evening was given the Hash name Give a Dog a Boner.
Yesterday I lost $2 at Oaklawn Park. I failed to report my losses from the day of the Smarty Jones Stakes, on January 17. Adding those in, I'm down $10.80 for the season after four trips.
Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
Hardman stood and reached for the basketball in Keith’s hands. “You ready to play?” he said.
Keith pulled the ball against his chest. “No, because there’s one more thing. You just said Rock Hudson made the wrong choice, as if he had one, as if that’s what homosexuality is, a choice. The fact is, Ron, you should know better. Now, I’ll grant that I’ve heard the argument that we do have a choice, that gay men can still choose to marry and sleep with women, but I say that no one should ask anyone to make such a choice. I mean, just imagine, what if someone, or some god, insisted you should only marry men, or sleep with men? What if that were in your bible? Where would you possibly find any morality in that sort of requirement? The point is, I’m gay just as you’re black. We didn’t have a say, and neither of those characteristics should be held against either of us.” Keith handed the ball to Hardman. “Now I’m ready to play.”
“You don’t know anything about politics, do you?” Hardman said.
“No, I guess not.”
Shoemaker bent over to adjust his shoelaces. “Well, he does know something about basketball,” he said. “Let’s go.”
