derby party


I opened my house for the Kentucky Derby today..made mint juleps, grilled outside and collected bets. Every race ends with new history and this year's history will go down with sadness for Eight Belles. As already being reported, the gloom traveled fast. The sport of kings is at the expense of majestic creatures. I suppose man's relationship with such wild life is part of the Derby's intrigue. Beast and human. Nature and Training.

It was a happy day with friends and family, indeed, as the above photo shows. I found it on my desktop when everyone left. i was at the grill all day and didn't know what others were doing. Apparently, they were mean mugging and being super fly.

And another year goes by.
