- for a trip, and I don't know where she is!
She let me know they were away, but not where.
I sent her an email asking, and saying I hope they are not near the east coast, and I just got an out-of-office acknowledgement! Now I will have to wait until she accesses her email there, I suppose. Meanwhile all the US weather forecasts are worrying..........

Nonu; my son is talking about going to New York in February with his girlfriend [it's her birthday]. Is February a bad time to go there and, if so what time of year do you think is the best? Will you be watching/listening to The Breeders Cup from Santa Anita this weekend?

Hi Crimson , not overly familiar with N.Y, only been there once . Hoever I do believe it can get pretty cold , snow etc.

Thanks for bringing my attention to Breeders cup at santa Anita , depends whether we get it on T.V.. Will you ?

It'll probably be on one of the racing channels, but I don't subscribe to them. It seems strange these days in that they have all the fillies and mares racing on Friday night and the colts on Saturday. I may find a link to a racing radio of some kind; I do get a live tv link sometimes [calracing] but it's a bit hit and miss. Andrew Lloyd Webbers fillie, The Fugue is running tomorrow night, so fingers crossed for her. I did hear that the weather had caused problems with some of the East Coast horses, as they have to arrive 3 days prior to the racing. Oh to so rich that I could go to Santa Anita this weekend and then on to Melbourne on Monday!
