I toil happily at the National Racing Museum and Hall of Fame across from the Saratoga Track and the fun for me are the rich stories the place holds. This matters since I’m not a devotee of horse racing, but I revel in the history and people that go with the sport. I also delight in the visitors, many of whom are just looking to kill an hour or two while on vacation. Last year, for example, a fellow from Oregon in with his family said, “Hey, you’re the Facebook guy. I follow you!” So that was nice. Yesterday I got chatting with an astronomer from a prestigious university and naturally I hit him with The Big Question.
