After another long and excellent night of sleeping, we decided the best thing to do today was as little as possible, so we broke out the Kindles and settled into our recliners for most of the day. Some rain came in during the afternoon, and the temps dropped a bit, so it’s just the kind of weather where you want to stay inside anyway! Enjoyed watching the Kentucky Derby (though I wish I had the ingredients for a mint julep, but I forgot about it last time we were in the liquor store), and listening to all the fuss about the rain and how it would affect the race. I’ll give NBC their due, it was the best coverage of the race we’ve seen in a long time! Usually they don’t pay hardly any attention to the horses, they make it all about the owners and trainers, but it seems they finally figured out it’s the HORSES people tune in to see. I guess that’s one good thing about social media, you get instant feedback on what you’re doing wrong! At least they apparently listened, because it certainly was better this time around, usually we skip through most of it, but this year they actually got our attention. Anyway, more rain here as well as in Lexington, so another quiet evening for us.
