Our “Amazing” Race

Our city has a big fundraiser every year for the children’s hospital and the one we had this past year was absolutely incredible. The foundation put on a big city-wide Amazing Race and we had so much fun. The clues were great and it was very well put together.

I have always been a big fan of obstacle courses and I thought that it was great that this was essentially a really big one. I loved figuring out the clues and doing the events in order to receive our next clue. The people who put it together were obviously very talented ad creative.

The hardest thing we had to do was go to an amusement park and proceed to try and climb up the inflatable slides while they were wet. It was definitely a lot harder than it looked. Our team of ten came in second place and I don’t know when I have ever had such a good time.

Getting the Inside Scoop at the Track

From time to time I find myself down at the horse racing track.  I love the sport, and the thrill of those few minutes that the horses hooves are pounding on the track.  For the short time of each race, I feel alive.

But, what I like the most is to see who is betting on what horse.  Now, I know that everyone has some horse racing tips to share for free, but who would want free racing tips anyway?  We all know that you get what you pay for.

When I do put money down on a horse, I look for the local horse racing tipster, pay the man, and see what he has to say.  More often than not, he is right, and it is worth my investment to seek his advice.

I feel sorry for those people that leave it up to chance - they usually don’t win anything.  For myself though, I play to win.
