I'm a horse guy. Derby is a dream.

Never dreamed about going to the Rose Bowl.

I forgot to mention...

When SEA HERO won we were in the infield...

then the rains came hard...

people took their tarps (there is a valley/hill) and ....

to form a NAKED slip-an-slide...( can't make this up)...

ALL the GIRLS went crazy naked...

Watched for about 10-15 mins or so...

The Wife said LET'S go....

To Funny...

Also, the lines were to long to cash my tix's...

so I got home and call CD...

they said just make copies and send your tiks to us....

got paid 6 days later...

very cool...

True Story...

Well it looks pretty close between them both and i figured as much.I always wanted to see both,but i think the Kentucky Derby is in the lead.The Rose Bowl has always been somewhere i would like to go,as the Rose Bowl Game has always been a favorite of mine, and also i enjoy the Parade.My good friend (Lou Michaels R.I.P.)was a standout for Kentucky,and went on to play in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Colts,Green Bay Packers and LA Rams and is mentioned more than the Govenor of Kentucky is,LOL,was going to take me there one day,but it all got cut short due to his passing.Lou did take me to the Belmont Stakes and that was a big thrill for me.So i believe the Derby would be my choice,but that Rose Bowl also looks enticing.


There are a lot of good comments about both,and i didn't expect anything less.

C.P.,they are some good stories and very funny
