Yes, it ...Oh, Sharon, that's a perfect analogy. Yes, it was that After-the-Golden-Heart-ceremony kind of feeling exactly. An overwhelming disappointment that eventually is followed by a sigh and, "Well. There's always next year." <br /><br />The best cure for disappointment is to continue striving. I don't remember who first said it, but I really love this saying: If you quit, you'll never know how close you were to success.L. A.

Yeah, it's an honor just to be nominated -- I don't say that tongue-in-cheek, because it is. But gah, it's a good thing there's always a bar within strolling distance at the end of those things. <br /><br />On a side note, I'm super excited about my little namesake. :) Sharon Lynn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886205665048406062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-42177798162115502052014-06-10T05:34:35.203-06:002014-06-10T05:34:35.203-06:00Right, Pippa. :)

(One of the names they put in the hat when naming California Chrome was Sea Bisquick. As a tribute, I suppose?)<br /><br />An interesting thing about the great match race with War Admiral is that Seabiscuit and WA were related. War Admiral was a son of Man O War. Seabiscuit was his grandson. L. A.

What a great story he had as well. The ugly little horse who could.<br /><br /><br />Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.com
