My friend Marty signed up today.

Nobody anywhere has ever met a nicer man.

I have been more than a 100 miles from home several times in my life and if I was to ever to go again as an old fart I would want to be on the bus with Marty.

Jeez, this guy used to try to jump off the roof off the old 1905 Belmont grandstand as a youngster after a bad day.

I am beyond 60 and used to be a youngster but catching a man for a friend better than Marty is a tough thing to do.

Indeed, it would be. And we'd better stop this thread, here and now, or else he'll give both of us hell.

Maybe we see him going thru the turn styles next opening day at the Big Sandy. I miss my friend, who refuses to come up State

i am thrilled he joined... i adore him and nobody has his sense of humor... hes definately an original!
