Some of you might be wondering why I, lover of horses races, especially the Triple Crown, have not made a peep about the Belmont.
It's pretty painful to tell. Sickening, actually. I never do my laundry in the late afternoon on a Saturday. Ever. This Saturday I woke up early, went to work for a few hours, went food shopping, made a delicious arugula-shrimp-scallop-pesto-spaghettini lunch, took a nap, then postponed my walk to the OTB by starting my laundry. Can you see where I'm going here? Can you see the picture I took from the Daily News? Have you ever been to a laundromat in the late afternoon on a Saturday? It's chaotic. I had to fight for a machine, fight for access to the machine, fight for a cart. My clothes and sheets and towels had to fight each other for access to the one dryer available. I feel like crying. I cannot remember the last time I did not bet The Belmont. And you know I Always bet on the horse in the 4 post. Always. Except when I don't bet at all. Like that time in 2007.
