While I'm on the subject of my faults, I've discovered after rereading some of my past blog posts that I have become cynical and bitter. Hard to believe, I know. How did this happen? I never used to be like this. In college and high school I may not have been happy and perky all the time but I was very rarely in a bad mood. Lately, it seems like it doesn't take much to set me off. What has happend to turn me into this cynical bitter person?! Sigh, I guess life has just finally beaten all of the opimism (o.k., so spelling isn't my strong suit) out of me. No, there's still some there. It's just hiding I think. How else could I go on each day if I didn't have the idea that someday things will get better? Someday, maybe I'll land a half decent writing job somewhere covering a sport I love (soccer, anyone?) and saving towards that sailboat I'm going to buy when I retire. Oh yeah, that's one of my dreams. I haven't really shared this with too many people, but when I get to the age when I might want to stop working (whenever that may be) I would LOVE to buy myself a half decent size sailboat and live on it. Maybe sail up the coast to Mass. in the summer and down to the Outerbanks in the winter. That would be the life. Out on the water with my dogs (labs of course) doing some freelance every now and then to pay the bills. Watching the sunset in various shades of red while sipping a frozen margarita. Yeah, I could definitely picture that.

Received an email from someone I was friends with in high school. Her name is Abbie and unfortunately we lost touch over the years. Now as fate would have it she is working with my friend Brad and we've started to reestablish our friendship. I'm glad too. I hate to lose even one friend, that seems to be happening an awful lot lately.

Seeing as I still have horse racing results to finish, I better get moving. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and plenty of rest and relaxation.

'Night.
