  Make sure to drink some mint juleps. I love those.

  My family is mostly from Louisville Ky, so Derby party is ON this weekend.
  Sadly I can't pick my horse by name, we draw from a hat.
  Devil May Care is running at 20/1 right now, not *too* bad.
  Mint Juleps will be a-flowin'. -{
  
  Hmm...I'm thinking a screening of Goldfinger may be in order earlier in the day on Saturday.

  As promised, Goldfinger screening has taken place.
  In the scene where Bond, Pussy and Goldfinger drink Juleps at the track, they have some pretty cool glasses for the juleps.
  Thick base with a bubble, slender glass. Nice. I'll be looking for something like those.
  Race is coming up, and time for my own Julep.
  
  DMC is up to 10-1 now.

  Sloppy track with all the rain; anything can happen. Should be interesting...

  Devil May Care...but Devil Didn't Win Oh well...glad I didn't bet the two bucks. A good race, though---congratulations to Super Saver {[]

  Didn't get to watch the derby because I was at work. Heard a neat story though. A random guy won $100,000. The money had to be put towards a bet on any horse. He bet on Super Saver and took home just over $900,000.

  Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
