I had a great time as well, and am exhausted from 12-odd hours in the car. Next time we'll plan this out better.

I think there's pics from ESPNzone and lots of other places. Em made me pose with a giant grin on my face with my wife, saying I never look happy. Which is odd, because I usually FEEL happy.

Meeting all you guys made EVERYTHING worth it, including having a normal Scott losing day handicapping.

Amy Lee will upload pics as soon as she regains consciousness and/or I get home from work.

Only bad thing ... I didn't get to meet Laura :(

I won't even tell you guys how much I slept today. Okay I will. 12 hours. Yep.

20 hours in a car this weekend. Yikes. Sorry if I wasn't too much fun... it was SO COOL to be on the rail though. I was actually yelling during the Preakness. I'd never yelled at the track before. :D

Oh and also, it was super cool to be taking pictures of Big Brown grazing while half the media was still crowded by his stall waiting for him to come over. I guess they didn't know it was him? Too bad my camera is far from awesome.

It was great to meet you Emily! I thought you were a lot of fun, and sorry for making you do Clemson things over and over and over and over....

I am still red-faced embarrassed about that particular fact. I'll live it down in a decade or so. But I think I'm forgiven, right? Right Steph?

I love that in approximately 50% of the photos I am in, I am doing something that would be considered, by normal people, to be entirely inappropriate!

Sad I missed all the SIM Freakness fun! I was there, but it was a last minute decision and so I ended up driving down with some friends (I didn't drive so I couldn't sneak away for the SIM dinner) and we had infield tickets that granted us access to only, well, the infield. It did make my day that I did get to see one SIMster, though -- Alysse!!! Hopefully I will be able to meet all of you some other time! Next year? :)
