And They Are Off!!!

We made it in one piece to Kentucky!!! Instead of leaving at 6 PM (when I was actually ready, thank you very much), we didn’t leave Pittsburgh until 7:20. After a long day at work. For a drive that was scheduled to take 6 1/2 hours. And I was driving (ok, my choice).

As an admitted leadfoot, I am happy to announce that I shaved some time from the Yahoo maps announced 6 1/2 hour journey. We pulled up in front of the hotel at 12:54 AM. Yay, me! And yay police for not being anywhere near me!!! Plus yay us for not getting lost! Life is so very good.

Speaking of good, thanks for the opinions on yesterday’s post. Yinz guys rock. Hard.

I need to get some rest. Tomorrow Today the Maker’s Mark Mile horse race at Keeneland starts at 1 PM and we need to go to the Liquor Barn to stock up on awesome hootch that we can’t get in PA.

Before I go I will leave you with a few photos of us about to embark on our adventure. I’m not sure Maker’s Mark and the other Ambassadors are ready for our level of “class.” More photos to follow as often as possible.

Anyone heard the one about the midget with a hairlip who desired to purchase a horse? He wanted to see her eyes. He wanted to see her teeth. He wanted to see her twat. Never mind. My aunt is laughing so hard she is snorting and I can’t quite make out the rest of the joke. Perhaps I will return with the rest of it. And the punchline. Then again, maybe it will be the same as Judd Nelson’s character in The Breakfast Club when he is crawling above the ceiling, out of the closet, and is telling the joke about the naked lady with a poodle under her arm who walks into a bar. I never did figure out the punchline to that one either…
