Derby de Mayo

A humdinger of a holiday weekend, cultures clashed and made sweet sweet love with the timing of the 133th Kentucky Derby race and Cinco de mayo. Many BBQs and ritualistic actions abounded, but nothing could quite top the hostessing of the lovely Miss Susan Kowal as witnessed by her stylish ham servings. My horse in a bet across town, the favorite "Street Sense" won after a last minute bolt from 19th to 1st place. Now that's called Spirit!
