Enjoy your wife and family, there is so much more to life then beating your
head against the wall trying to beat the nags.

Jeff,
I do enjoy my family. I spend countless hours of quality time with them. We camp, drive to special places where our son can experience the joys of childhood, and we have him participate in activities where he interacts with other children. The other day when my Dad took our son to Chuck E. Cheese, my wife and I spent the late morning/early afternoon out and about in downtown Saratoga Springs. Right now, the #1 A priorities are planning his 4th birthday party, as it will be a Christmas theme celebration. The other is getting him ready for school in the Fall.
As for you pontificating re: what I should or should not be doing in my life, I will take the high road and simply say that while you are definitely entitled to your opinion, I am not partaking in anything over my head or comfort level. Ive come to the realization that horse racing is a hobby and I am treating it as such. I have my wife's blessing to attend opening day and some other days this meet. Also, just because I read or post doesn't necessarily reflect my activity. If I stay away from here, it will be on my volition, not because someone on this board thinks I should stay away.
