Weddings
Rochester, NY 1:50 PM Summer must be getting close. I have the first wedding of the season today. There is my sister’s graduation party in two weekends and then another wedding Memorial Day weekend. Today will be a lot of fun. It is a girl from high school, Jackie, and a friend of mine’s older brother, Paul. I was over at their place on Thursday for a margarita and Cinco de Mayo celebration.

The betting slips had combinations of numbers, some of us had more than others. It was a 50 degree, grey day with a little bit of mist. Still, the sign at Finger Lakes Race Track said Fast. The first race of 9 kicked off at 1:10 PM. I was called earlier in the day and made my way over after doing some work. I arrived for the 5th race. The TV screens jumped with tracks from all over the country. I...
