Sad state of affairs

Getting ready to head south to the Baby Gators and I am looking forward to catching back up with my racing family.
My wife comes in to tell me I have some contingency checks coming in. She has a app on her phone that tells what mail is coming in. She ask how much I won in Orlando, I told her the total purse and contingency. She looks at me like what?
You use to win more than that 20 years ago.
Sadly I had to tell her that is true and the money hasn't kept up with the times but I am enjoying what I want to do in retirement.Make it seem better.
Didn't want to tell her what the entry fee is now. Almost double what it was years ago and the money available is less. Good thing I enjoy it because I can bracket race locally for 1/4 the entry fee for the same money and be home in 20 minutes.
Well that is all I am heading south. Hope to see you there.
