Today is Derby Day. For Kentuckians this is the first day of summer and beginning of the barbeque season. By thirty minutes before post time, in Kentucky the stores and streets are disserted as people are milling around parties before television sets.
Evie and I continue to carry forward the impact of living in Kentucky. Every year since we have been married we have celebrated Derby Day. We plan our meals and day around the event. We sit look at the ungodly hats and pick a horse or two to cheer (one of the favorites and one not so favored). I am pulling Noviz Like Shobiz and Imawildandcrazyguy (what a name). And when the University of Louisville band plays “My Old Kentucky Home” our heart is stirred.
Happy Derby Day to one and all.

Derby day? Hmm ... the start of summer... I can only dream.
