I can almost taste the Mint Juleps/Quattro de Mayo

Tomorrow promises to be a good day if I can only get through today! Last night ended up being pretty late with a random trip to the Treehouse (the bar in Peachtree Hills, not the animal clinic). Tonight I have to mow the grass (assuming no T-storms) and go to the UVa Happy Hour/meeting at CJ's Landing.

But tomorrow, hopefully we'll get out of work tomorrow, seeing as the main partner is gone at his daughter's wedding, and our neighborhood party starts up at 5 PM. I think in honor of Oaks/Derby some seersucker wearing is in order.

Saturday is Dunwoody Beer Fest up off of Abernathy & Mt. Vernon, & then of course the Derby, possibly in Hi-Def or possibly at our neighbor's house.

I love the tradition of the Derby...the "And they're off!"...the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home"...Tom Hammond (a Lexington, Kentucky native) saying right before the playing "At this moment everyone is a Kentuckian"...the random shots of people trying to sing between sips of Juleps...the announcers in their hats & khaki suits...more to come tomorrow...I'll be listening to a Louisville station as opposed to WWL tomorrow.

In NOLA news, hotels will officially have to evacuate starting this year, so people don't get stranded at the Ritz again...haha. Remember this will be for Cat 2's & up (which someone on WWL called a strong thunderstorm!). Also a NOLA prosecutor got arrested today for rape...that looks good for the city.
