This is the first post from the arena. It is new, (built three hyears ago). Jake Jahelka is next to me, Bob Eaton is talking to Tedi, and Jake said to say hello to Ann, who is following the List from home. Gail Hardcastle and Mary were giving out the tickets, so I got to say hello. Mary looks just great. Gail Sprock looks like she might be working out, I will have to ask her. I see jPam Stoesser talking to the people doing the filming, and the ring is huge. Actually they havenâ??t set up the ring yet, the entire floor is sod, and it in light and dark strips. The red and black follards are perfect as the chairs are red, and the walls white, (sort of an off white). I see people milling around, but they need to set up the rings, and we are three hours before the Futurity starts. I see one dog in the ring, and I think they will kick him off soon. I think he has a puppy on the floor, and shouldnâ??t be there. Here comes Bob Penny talking to Ginnie, and I see nancy Nellis down below. We, (Tedi and I) have center seats two rows up from the wall, which is about ten feet up from the ground. I see Diane Brown, looking good as always and there goes Fred Migliore. At the end of the ring are the three flags, America, Germany and Canada. People are starting to file in, and the tension is starting to grow.. I miss a lot of people that arenâ??t going to be here this year, I hope to bring some of the feelings to those who read the BLOG. I am sending this at 2:00 p.m. Let me know when you get it. To make sure it goes out, I will send it to the List as well. I have to go put on my sneakers, wipe my forhead, throw up, and get ready to show Oâ??Connor. My predictiion, first, Antonio, the Samari, then Oâ??Connor. I donâ??t care if they donâ??t place them, thatâ??s my story, and Iâ??m sticking to it. More to come.
