I can answer the questions sometime this week, but am overjoyed to annnouce the birth of my first son, Calvin Michael, on September 8th, 2008. He weighed 8 lbs, 3 oz, and I will be at the hospital for the next couple of days. Mother and baby are doing great.

Congrats, Calvin5800!! Glad to hear they are both doing well. Now the fun really starts for you!

Contest note - I'll have to try to answer the questions on Wednesday. I get up at 4:30 am (EST)and leave for work at a little after 5 am. I'm usually out-like-a-light by the time the questions will be up. So don't think I'm not playing - just later then some of you.

Made a correction to question #1.

Lori Hamill · Post by **Lori Hamill** » 15 years ago

I don't think I understand question 4. The SIM ran the same race twice and the same horse won? Is that the question?

These are hard questions! :unsure:

Bill Deitch · Post by **Bill Deitch** » 15 years ago

No, I just mean he didn't win 2 different SC races. The same race in consecutive years.
