OH WHAT A DAY.................

 Up early to catch ride to VA

 on other side of town, where

 ocean meets land and plenty

 of fog. Checked in early as 

 asked and waited for ten a.m.

 appointment. Had my vitals

 taken and 120/63 says all meds

 are working. Waited some more

 and told desk to tell nurses's ass't

 her next appointment went home.

 Rode bus down Geary to Arguello

 and got cab with help of young man

 helping "this old guy." Yeeeeah. 

 When I went to get into cab there were

 drivers parents, "Room upfront for one

 more! They are my parents!" I just knew

 this had to be fun. "Okay I'll go."

 "Say, you sound like a New Yorker."

 "I'm from The Bronx!" "So am I!" 

 Burke Avenue by Boston Road and all

 came out twenty five years ago. Lots

 of laughs on the way. At home gave

 "Frank Taxi" a Bronx tip . More than the

 meter. Gave me his number for later

 service. Nice people...........

 Have half of late pick 4 and need 2 more.

 August is here, eagle landed in nest with

 full clutch and I may have the touch. I do

 say handicapping is a learned skill. Not

 picking winner by free will.............
