I Really Know How to Pick 'Em or Why I Am Not a Professional Gambler

I never would have bet on Giacomo to win the Kentucky Derby. If I had been at a track, I would have bet on Don't Get Mad, which is exactly the advice that I should heed. If you had bet the Superfecta correctly for today's Run for the Roses, you would have won something like $1.7 million. "Don't Get Mad" Ann, you never ever would have picked that correctly because you never would have picked Giacomo to win. Did you ever get mad when you don't win the $100 gazillion Power Ball. I did once. I have to admit that I have been dwelling on money since last week Saturday when the fortune in my fortune cookie told me that my money worries would soon be over. I'll tell you what my Friend, I am starting to think this way: No money? No worries. Certainly that's not true. Perhaps I am learning that I shouldn't be worrying about it without just cause. Maybe that's what my fortune meant by my money worries being over soon. The biggest money worry? Student loans... not too different from everyone else. Second biggest money worry? Car payment... again not too different from anyone else. Third biggest money worry? Where does it all go? Again, not too different from anyone else.

Real bummer of the day is that the Killers are in town and the show was sold out... I missed the band wagon. Next time, next time.
