Dance Line

["C Eyler" <eyler@mindspring.com>]

Suggest you go back and read what Howard wrote.  He was racing -- on his,
and his horse's, first 50.  That's why he's so upset with himself.  It could
happen to any of us who's particularly competitive.  A hard lesson that
could have been a lot worse.
