I spent the day at Punchestown with Dad. Both of us made a gross loss, but minor gains that made it fun. I bet on a horse named "For $exgrilfname" and it came in nowhere, but this is not intended to be an allegory or metaphor or that sort of thing. When we got back to Dalkey we had most excellent food in Benito's before heading home to watch an episode of "Scrubs" and most of "Get Shorty". In keeping with long-standing tradition, Mom phoned during "Scrubs" thus ensuring that Dad got to miss the second half of the show.
