Thoughts on the Day

  • Whoever talked to Bronson Pinchot between the production of Hard Magic and Spellbound and taught him how to pronounce “BAR”, thank you.  Both are excellent books and he reads them expertly, but that little detail was enough to jar me a bit in the first book.
  • I made the switch from iPhone to Android on Friday.  Only major glitch so far is that the stereo in my car doesn’t want to work with the new phone to play music and such.  Oh well, I like a challenge.
  • Irish Woman had hersomethingth class reunion today at Churchill Downs.
    • Do all Catholic women from my generation have “Mary” somewhere in their name, or is it just me?
  • I turned $6 into $78 by betting on a horse based on his name.
  • Irish Woman lost $6 by betting against Calvin Borel.  Her excuse was that he sometimes loses.  Today was not that day.
  • I tried to explain to Irish Woman why meeting a bunch of new people today was exhausting.  Not sure how my message was received, but saying “my face hurts from smiling all afternoon” didn’t seem to get through.
  • I’m trying an experiment tonight – I made my applesauce spice cake, except I substituted half a cup of apple bourbon for the vanilla and pushed slices of apple into the top of the batter before baking.  We’ll see how this turns out.
  • My new dentist got a thumbs up this morning when I discovered a coffee pot with kona coffee and actual ceramic coffee cups in the lobby.
