Inspiring. Cinderella, but better.

Did I ever tell you about dating Ginger Rogers?

Still working on the back story.

Yeah, met her at the after party after winning the Nobel prize in 1982. She was too drunk to dance, but I helped her into a cab. Very grateful, she was. Too much of a gentleman to mention it until now.

As I said, working on the back story.

This would be your Nobel, of course, not hers -- she won an Oscar in 1941, and I know you weren't at that after-party.

A story read at racing pace. I was transfixed.

I ran into her a J&W Liquors in Ferndale when she was riding here. We had a brief conversation about the races and about Ferndale. I remember that she said she loved Ferndale.
