Absent for the busiest day in Louisville

today as i was helping brian put up his fence i got a little lesson in horse racing. today the kentucky derby was held. two minutes... just two minutes...and it's all pau. no preliminary races, no second chances. just two minutes. brain said that about 100,000 people converge upon Louisville for the weekend, just to watch the 2 minute derby. and of those 100,000 converging people...john is not one of them. ...even though he's lived there for that past ???? years. i'm sure he's not too disapointed. he's in Michigan. [GO BLUE!] ...working...or something like that. there are two other big races besides the kentucky derby. ...i can't remember their names right now...preekness?? oh well, it'll come back to me. brian says the that together the three races are known as the tripple crown. i told him that people in Hawaii rarely ever talk about horse racing...except last year, when that horse injured his ankle/foot. the only tripple crown that almost every one talks about back home is the tripple crown of surfing!!=) brian's fence is just about done...just one more gate left!! and the pina colada frozen yogurt that he made was unreal!! mahalo Brian!!
