It is cold and wet and grayer than two motherfuckers in Levy. I walked the Maple Street Loop this morning in 32:39 to warm up for a trip to Nashville.
Last night, I walked a total of about a quarter of a mile between bars a few blocks apart on a Christmas themed Hash pub crawl. There are some new women in our group. The four I met impressed me: A lawyer named Paige, a speech pathologist named Chrissy, a nurse named Margaret (aka Clit Notes), and another who once ran with the Houston Hash and has the Hash name Easy Chair. I don't remember her real name. She has an understated, beautiful singing voice. You know, nothing showy, but clearly the product of a lifelong hobby.
By the way, home now in the early evening, I just watched a horse trained by Beverly Burress win the third race at Delta Downs in Vinton, Louisiana. I remember that her last race as a jockey at Oaklawn Park was in 2009. Two minutes of research at equibase.com showed that she last rode on September 22, 2013. I have wondered a bit what she was doing and just found out that her first entrant as a trainer raced on October 19 last year. Maybe she'll return to Oaklawn as a trainer.
