run for the roses, charlie brown
it's derby day!
and despite the announcers over-bearing penchant for claiming this year's kentucky derby as the "superbowl" of thoroughbred racing, i couldn't be more excited or geekish.
i wish i could explain why i love the triple crown so much. but i just do. churchill downs is breathtaking. the race is spectacular. it's noble. it's exciting. it's over in two minutes. and despite what pamela anderson says, it's beautiful.
it's currently 1 hour to post time. and i am prepared (customers be damned) to wade through personal interest stories, pointless celebrity interviews, commercials touting the "official fried chicken of the kentucky derby" and endless speculation about which horse is going to "pull the giacomo."
incidentally, here is my trifecta:
1) lawyer ron (17)
2) brother derek (18)
3) barbaro (8)
4) point determined (5)
and, my darkhorse:
sweetnorthernsaint (11)
*raises a mint julip*
enjoy, every one.

I watched the race while eating dinner at a 99 Restaurant. Watching it with the mute on makes the interviews, personal stories, etc. much more interesting because then you get to guess about their lives. I hated the KFC thing too.
