"I am fulfilled and weary. This Kentucky Derby, whatever it is--a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion--is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced. And I suspect that, as with other wonders, the people one by one have taken from it exactly as much good or evil as they brought to it." - John Steinbeck, from the "Ode to the Kentucky Derby", original posted in Louisville's own Courier-Journal on May 5, 1956.

Addendum ... once again, I didn't get a single horse right. Are there points for missing each and every one? As I said to Arizona a few minutes ago, when he called to let me know he had put money on Street Sense -- many congratulations! -- I should never bet money on anything. Really. Never. But it doesn't mean I won't try again next year.
Hope y'all had a great Derby. I'm going outside to the Homewood festival now, to drown my sorrows in two-steppin' fun. Gotta love it when they bring the live bands to you :).

Addendum: Mom says that the rose in the picture is a Peace rose. Appropriate, somehow. It's from the Rose Garden next to the Bishop's New Residence in Bamberg.
