It takes an exceptional horse to be able to run the short distance of the Preakness and the longer distance of the Belmont. Most horses are either sprinters (the Preakness winners) or stayers (the Belmont), few are both. Look up the footage of Secretariat's win of the Belmont sometime if you want to see something incredible. After he died, they did an autopsy and discovered that his heart was almost twice the size of the average thoroughbred's heart.

Yeah, pretty proud of the kid. Glad I made the trip - only people there for him were me, my sister, and my ex-brother-in-law. The nickname Bean comes from when he was a toddler and he did something incredibly cute and clever and I said "Aren't you Auntie's clever little bean!" and he replied with much enthusiasm "yeah!" And then he proceeded to tell everyone else who tried to call him Bean that that was Aunnie Aunnie's name for him and they couldn't use it.

First year I have missed all three Triple Crown Races! And of course this is the year it happens!!! I remember Affirmed winning in 1978, I was nine at the time. I think I was sleeping on the floor of the Charlotte airport at the time.

Hope your kitty feels better. I need to make a vet appt for Kaylee - she's had runny poo for more than a couple of days and isn't acting like her normal inquisitive self. I really don't have the $ for this right nolw. Sigh.

My weekend? Let's see... spent too much time on planes and in airports, ate too much crappy fast food, missed seeing American Pharoah become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed won it in 1978 (I think I was stretched out on the floor napping in the Charlotte, NC airport at the time), but I did get to see my nephew graduate Friday night, which made it all worthwhile.

I didn't realize there was a sequel in the works.

I went back to Assassin's Creed, just to take it off my pile of shame. Also spent a lot of time in airports and on airplanes the last couple of days playing Bravely Default on my 3DS.

There are a couple that you have to time right, took me five tries to find one of them.

Got it this AM. I just plugged in the other controller and did the level where you drive around and shoot at the Joker Mech. Which level are you missing the minikit on? And do you have all the red bricks? Just turn on the mini-kit finder. I don't think it's cheating, as I earned all my red bricks.

Jason said The Two Jakes was really good, too.

Thanks, I'm so proud of him!

I don't mind most caterpillars, but ones that cause rashes I do. My boss and one other co-worker get the respiratory issues from the hairs.
