Derby

Having resided in Louisville during the Kentucky Derby, we are officially Louisvillians... and, I might add, really stinkin' close to being members of the Royal Family. Her Majesty the Queen had to have cruised down I-65 and exited Crittenden on her way to the Derby. I drive down I-65 right past the Crittenden exit any time I go to the seminary. So maybe that doesn't qualify someone for royalty... but no doubt, the queen would smile and nod if we passed each other at the Jefferson Mall. I might say, "Remember that time you watched the derby just a few miles from my house?"... and she'd just chuckle without relinquishing any of her queenliness.

It reminds me of the time Tom Hanks shot the final scene of Cast Away just an hour away from our home in Texas... My friends, we have arrived.
