This is the sort of morning I love. It's been raining since last night, everything is cool and wet with that pearlescent quality to the light. I'm reading a fantasy novel with academics, mysterious wizards and deadly swordsmen. The Kentucky Derby preshow is on television. I'm not in much pain. The only things that could make life better would be a cherry cola slurpee and puffy cheetos. I'd like to be able to chew again.

I love the Kentucky Derby, even when it rains. They are working on the track, to try and keep it from getting too sloppy. Tarps are up all over to protect the cameras and wires. I love to watch them stretch the horses' legs and clips of previous races. Should I ever become wealthy, I'm going to have racehorses, and buy big floppy hats to wear at the races. I don't really like bourbon though, so instead of mint juleps I will drink mojitos.

I didn't even realize it was derby day!

My mum has a set of shot glasses from the Kentucky Derby. Something she got from her mother, I think. Something Jennifer and I will haggle over in some (hopefully) distant future.
When you're wealthy, I'll have to beg you do buy be a hat so I can go to the races with you. (I'm always inclined to picture My Fair Lady.)

and how do you make a mint julep?
