I'm near Philly now, which has ludicrous liquor laws, but some fine brewpubs and a great Belgian beer bar called Monks.<BR/><BR/>I do miss Bierkraft, but hey, at least I'm closer to the track I visit most often (Delaware Park)!Superfectahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160193760814449962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1163611703164830002006-11-15T12:28:00.000-05:002006-11-15T12:28:00.000-05:00Thanks Alan, for that painful hair loss reminder!!...Thanks Alan, for that painful hair loss reminder!! I guess it's true that the hair comes from the dam side. . .<BR/><BR/>Superfecta, where did you move? There are rockin' beer bars all over this town. I'm going to be in THE GATE later, to have a few pops before the Detroit Cobras show and (hopefully) toast my Hollywood Pick Six score. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1163608503216818522006-11-15T11:35:00.000-05:002006-11-15T11:35:00.000-05:00I think they've handled the slots well at Delaware...I think they've handled the slots well at Delaware Park (i.e. in a way that I don't have to see them as a horse racing fan, but can enjoy the semi-decent restaurants they bring)...it will be interesting to see how it goes over at Philly Park.<BR/><BR/>Pete -- I recently moved from Park Slope and miss the Waterfront Ale House (and the Gowanus Yacht Club) -- nice to see a familiar place name.Superfectahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160193760814449962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1163606482677736042006-11-15T11:01:00.000-05:002006-11-15T11:01:00.000-05:00>>And Alan, do you think I'd look good with Mike S...>>And Alan, do you think I'd look good with Mike Score's haircut?<BR/><BR/>Not sure, though I thought it might be a good look for your dad.

Some thoughts from the last week:<BR/><BR/>Re the Dubai flap, check out 20/20 on Friday night. My friend Jason Levin was one of the folks interviewed about "The Dark Side of Dubai," should be interesting!<BR/><BR/>My own personal take on the Bernardini retirement is to basically agree with the idea that it's absurd. The Sheikh ain't gettin' his billion back so what's the point?<BR/><BR/>The only possible reason I see for it is that they think maybe Bernardini really isn't that good and that Invasor and Discreet Cat are better so why not retire him relatively unexposed?<BR/><BR/>No surprise to see various industry sources get their panties in a twist trying to protect/defend the Sheiks' position. Isn't he kind of like the fish poker player that the pros send a limo to pick up? Kudos to the DRF for not kowtowing. As for the Bloodhorse, not so much. . .<BR/><BR/>Film Maker's one of my favorites -- here's to her!<BR/><BR/>And Alan, do you think I'd look good with Mike Score's haircut?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
