-Yes, failed stand-up comedian. It's okay, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, etc. etc. I came to grips with that failure a long, long time ago. Failing was worth it, since it meant I got to live in L.A. for a while, make some life-long friends, and experience rejection from the 50 percent of female Los Angelenos that '73 didn't have biblical relations with.
But yeah, I really, really sucked at it, in hindsight.
-Actually thought Bourbon Chase traffic was much more manageable in Versailles this time around. Last year, I sat for a good 30 minutes just waiting to park for my daughter's CC meet. This year, took maybe five. Sorry Booker....learn Woodford County traffic patterns, I guess.
-My other daughter also made her goalie debut yesterday. I missed much of the game b/c of something with my oldest, but as we pulled up, I saw her dive on a ball. She gave up three in the time I saw, but stopped probably five. Weird to see your typically-passive child be so aggressive out on the playing field/court. I hate soccer and still prefer that she had just quit the team during the game, but it still made me proud to see her get after it like that.
-Cousins from South Carolina stayed at the house this weekend. Huge baseball(Cubs) and college football fans. Seeing how I'm the only one under my roof who cares about sports, it was nice to be surrounded by others who were excited to watch games. Also nice to see how excited they were about stuff we take for granted...not just Keeneland, but visiting the farms/distilleries/etc.
-Eff you Chad.
