Left out

I neglected to mention the two celebrities I ran into on the train on the way to Louisville Saturday morning. The first was John Michael Montgomery. While I do listen to country music now and then, I can't think of any of his songs off the top of my head.

The second was a name which sounded very familiar but which I couldn't place. That is until someone convinced him to get out his saxophone. Memories of Benny Hill jumped into my head when Boots Randolph started playing Yakkety Sax in the aisle of the dining car.

Pictures

At derechodragon's suggestion, I tried making a new user icon based upon the picture I took of Giacomo winning the Derby on Saturday. It should show as the icon on this post.

The original picture in all it's blurry glory is here

It gives you an idea how close to the track our box was. With everyone standing up, I resorted to just holding the camera up over my head, releasing the shutter and hoping for the best. Due to very limited suitcase/carryon space, I ended up only bringing the small digital. I wish I'd been able to bring the larger 10x digital. owell. I kind of like how the pic turned out. If not for the people in the foreground, it might almost look artsy.

That directory also has pictures of the two engines that pulled the Derby train here and here.

Those were taken from inside the bus after we got off the train. You can see the reflections in the bus window.

Saturday Night

( Let them eat cake! )

( All aboard 2: Electric Boogaloo )

( The greens that make any food fan-cay! )

( Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker )

( The eye of the storm )

( Dante had nothing on this )

( Light show )

( Back in Frankfort )

No rest for the wicked, though. My father and I had to be up early to drive to Indianapolis in the morning. Lil sis had earned her Master's Degree and the ceremonies were the next day.
