An unexpected gift happened during dinner out at my big Sister and I's hotel restaurant the other night.
I was watching tv kind of behind me on a medium-large tv, and the Belmont Stakes was coming up soon about 7 pm.
I told my sister about this jockey's horse training / exercise videos that I have been following, which make me feel like I am riding around the track. (Ray Moya). He had just won a race one hour before!
Then I was chatting about the top 3 faves in the NY race and odds, having followed the horses all Spring season.
We took pics of our food, my sis does it for her weight program support person. So I'm like ok, I'll post mine ...
There was a guy with jeans and salt and pepper hair and a trimmed beard sitting alone by the window, eating and having a beer. Wish I had left him in the food pics, but that would be rude, so I didn't.
We finished with appetizers and entrees, and there was a gluten-free chocolate thing, so got desert.
We watched the race. It was weird with the music playing over it. I would rather hear the calling, but was glad to see it, as I wasn't sure I would get to, and our room had no tv. (Cheap).
The waitress came over with our check and asked if we knew that guy by the windows. No, we did not. Turns out he had paid our bill for the appetizers and entrees, about $80 dollars! We were still not over it an hour later ... Angels still exist...
