Let’s see. Where should we go to watch the Kentucky Derby this year? The race only lasts a minute or so and it’s so nice out.

We could do Silk O’Laughlin’s. You can sit outdoors or stand in the parking lot if the tables are full and look out over the river right where it meets the lake. They have betting pools and this years race hardly has any favorites so it’s wide open anyway. They serve Guinness but then any pub worth their salt does that. Peggi and I went to the Kentucky Derby in Louisville on our first date. I took this picture there. We didn’t have seats in the stands so we sat on a blanket and we could barely see the race but it was the year Secretariat won. I just did the math!
