two of my favorite holidays

cinco de mayo and derby day. it's tough to think of better reasons to celebrate, and suprisingly enough, i got to enjoy both of them this year as i had the weekend off. the 5th of may was like any other, mexican beer, tequila, sombreros and maracas. somehow the On The Border party we went to was ill-equipped. they ran out of pacifico, limes, and people by like 10.
derby day morning, like the past 6 was spent hungover. i picked my horse, steppenwolfer, because i like the band, and he had good odds. coming out of the gate, he got boxed out and got pushed back to 16th place..... typical. i gave up my interest in the race, but continued to watch. some other horse won, but then they threw up the results and my friggin horse showed!!! i rewound the race to see if i could find a teleporter big enough for the horse to use as that is the only way he could have made that kind of progress. who knows, maybe it truely was a magic carpet ride....
