Playin' the Ponies

I was in Louisville for a couple of customer meetings today. My afternoon meeting got canceled at the last minute and I couldn't get an earlier flight home so I killed the afternoon at Churchill Downs, which happens to be only about a 5 minutes drive from the Louisville airport.

Track conditions were sloppy, but that made for some interesting photography. I've posted an album of photos from the day over on Flickr.

Our new dog

I came home from work today to find out that Liz had adopted Daisy from the Saving Grace Rescue in Wake Forest...



Apparently, they called her Reba at the shelter (because she was "red") but all I could think of was the country music star and companion sitcom. Luckily, the whole family agreed to change her name to "Daisy." We'll see how that goes over with the dog, but so far, she hasn't seemed to mind.
