Garry and Neil racing at the O'Connor Ridge handicap.What I am reading: "Making Money", by Terry Pratchett. Which is about a Mint. Hilariously funny. I am up to Chapter Four. I love the section on Hubert's "Glooper" in Chapter Three. I will never view a Finance report (e.g. on the ABC news) in quite the same way again. I have Pratchett's next novel, "Unseen Academicals", on order. Which is about soccer.It's November 2009 already. How did that...
