I like to put a dollar or two on the horses. Not much, mind. Just a dollar each way, here and there. Once I won almost nine hundred dollars. Nine hundred dollars! Can you imagine that!
My wife – well my ex-wife actually, but that’s another story – she didn’t like me putting the occasional dollar on the horses. She used to think that there were better things to spend money on. Dresses and stuff I suppose. Yeah right. And lipstick and junk.
When they took the kids away she upped and left. She’d had enough she said. The judge gave her custody of the kids eventually. But I don’t see anything wrong with it. Just a dollar here and there, each way. Occasionally.

Your new monologues are fascinating character studies.

These monologues look into the human psyche, with all its goods and bads, This guy? On his way to a gambling addiction if he’s not already there, and excusing himself all the way.

Thanks Noelle. I’m starting to get a bit worried as to why I should know all these faulty people so well!

A little bit more than a dollar and a little bit more than occasionally I think 🙂
