Sally is so her mother. For better or for worse.

Can we talk about how crazy this episode was?

I usually get a bit woozy spending more than $20 at a time, but yesterday I bought a kayak. Totally worth it. Otherwise, I'm a total tightwad, even now that I have enough income to start stuffing up my savings account. Poor is a mindset, people! A totally healthy one.

The sad part is that you're complaining about everything being taken as sexist by using a very sexist term. Where exactly do you think "pussified" came from?

Weird, I always thought Sansa was the most beautiful lady on the show. Her hair is upsetting sometimes, but she looks like the kind of girl who will grow into a gorgeous woman.

God yes. That whole scene with Bran and Sam I was saying, "OH HERE COMES COLDHANDS. YES. AWESOME EPISODE."

Book spoilers ahoy!

Wow, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky that you started with Secretariat. Marguerite Henry and Walter Farley introduced me to Man o' War, which is how I started following modern racing. I wish I could have been around even to see horses like Holy Bull, Cigar, John Henry, or Spectacular Bid in person. There've been…

It ended up only being exciting for the folks who bet Palace Malice or Oxbow anyways. :P Definitely a very divided three year old crop this year.

This is the most kickass little chick I've ever hatched. It keeps trying to climb over the other eggs and then falling on its back and freaking out like a turtle.

This little one hatched about ten minutes ago and is currently rampaging through the brooder.

Behold! My incubator will be a hopping place this weekend. <3

It wasn't so much the ride as the blinkers. That was a reallly bad decision. I tossed the Derby and figured he's a May colt from a late-developing sire on a speed-happy track. Who knew he'd actually win?

HEY JEZ I JUST MADE A LOT OF MONEY YEAH.

Waiting for the Belmont Stakes! I hope Orb takes it, but I have money on Palace Malice and Freedom Child. Any Jezzies watching, or am I the only horse racing nerd around?

One time my big dumb houndy-thing was investigating a paper bag a little too strenuously and it got stuck over his face. I had to tackle him to halt the rampage that ensued.

Regrettable tattoo. Although I am getting a smaller version of that lion soon.

I am about equidistant from Belmont and Pimlico- the big race days there have been a highlight of moving to PA. Monmouth is probably out of contention for a long time after the debacle of last time, but I have also noticed Belmont getting snubbed in the last few years. I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever attend a…

This is an excellent article. I was one of those people in 2008 saying, "THESE GUYS are going to be the next TC connections?"

Agreed. Rumor is the BC will no longer be coming to Churchill Downs Inc. tracks. What was once meant to be a nationwide celebration of talent is once again diminished by internal bickering.
