I'm off to Kentucky and will technically be back on Monday the 7th but I'll be kind of out of action until Week 16 Thursday. I'm going to try to get on as much as possible while gone to do articles and AJ horses and the like, but I've never had much luck with it in the past while there! Anyway, if I don't respond in a timely manner, that's why, and the regulars are watching the forum.
No need to reply, just wanted to let y'all know!

Re: Headed to Kentucky
I'm actually in Louisville for business now but have to leave before the Derby (darn work!). I do love this town. The Louisville Slugger museum is one of the best museums in the world (they actually make the bats for the big leaguers right in front of you). It's funny how this town transforms for the Derby. Can you think of any other sport where people who don't know Union Rags from Dirty Rags come flying in a private jet to watch a race for two minutes? Also funny how many of the locals won't go as it is like going to Times Square on New Year's Eve as a New Yorker. People say the Infield crowd is a young drunken mess (not that there is anything wrong with that). What's cool are the ancillary things in the town that started last weekend. Three paddleboats race on the Ohio River on Wednesday. The Oaks day is everybody's favorite day here, it seems. And the funnest thing is everybody keeps greeting each other with "Have a great Derby week!". Funny stuff.

Re: Headed to Kentucky
Work? It's Derby Week! Around the office none of us have the urge to do much, in fact half the office is off work for Thursday and Friday, and none of them are going to Derby... just the Oaks... Dan, I *LOVE* the Derby Festival. So many parties...Dan Gordon wrote:I'm actually in Louisville for business now but have to leave before the Derby (darn work!). I do love this town.

Re: Headed to Kentucky
We took a trip through that neck of the woods... there is an "arms museum" right accross the street from the LS musuem. Was fantastic. We took a drive to the Patton museum as well (it was boys choose where we go one day... girls the next ). Considered hitting the LS museum but ran outta time.Dan Gordon wrote:I'm actually in Louisville for business now but have to leave before the Derby (darn work!). I do love this town.
