As usual, it seems, we missed the Kentucky Derby today. Darn. We were both tired, as the sleep schedule hasn't been very good at our house lately.

Here's a YouTube video of "Run For The Roses," by the late Dan Fogelberg. The video has beautiful images of horses, horse farms, and Churchill Downs. I hope you enjoy it!
