Churchill Downs today to watch the Derby. I believe this is her 3rd year in a row……already has studied abroad in Austria and will be graduating next Saturday.
Not sure if she really knows how lucky she is. You can tell her, but I guess you really have to experience how it is on the other side of the fence before it really hits home.
Growing up a PO white boy in south GA, I was lucky to able to go to a Braves game or Six Flags. The only way that I was able to go back then was to make the baseball Little League All-Star team…:..did it 2X. Always had a blast, thought I was indeed in “tall cotton”.
College was another story for me.
Nonetheless, pretty dang sure I wouldn’t have liked the Kentucky Derby back then. Thinks they are all probably “racists” anyway…….only white people, silly looking big white hats with Mint Juleps in their hands w/ their pinkies out….no “flavor” in the crowd.
Guessing their choice in music sux too.
Nonetheless, if y’all see a blonde with a drink in her hand, a shat eating grin and a funny looking hat on….let me know, she’s mine.
