Graduation & the Derby


Today i went to the commencement ceremony of one of my favorite people in the world, one Katie Perry. She is my buddy Josh's little sister and i've known her since she was about 3 years old. Anyhow it was a great ceremony, except for the part when the guy who received an honorary doctorate had a stroke onstage. Maybe it wasn't a stroke but he sure looked to be in bad shape. After that we went to a great celebratory lunch at Maggiano's in Santana Row. Tons of food, calamari, pasta, meat dishes, tiramisu, creme brulee, just non stop food. It took about 2 hours just to get through the courses. Congratulations Katie!
On a not so great note, the second place horse at the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby today was euthanized(put down, killed, put out of its misery) on the track immediately following the race. It just shows you, in horse racing, and life, second place will get you killed. The above picture is the son of a bitch who did it.
