KENTUCKY DERBY
The post positions for the horses were drawn yesterday and I am now pleased to announce the order of The West Family Derby Sweepstakes drawing for horses. The order that the players would pick their horses was determined through a random drawing this morning.(See below) The first two players drawing (Me & Ted) will get three picks each; everyone else gets two picks. Your picks will be posted Friday afternoon. HERE IS SOME GOOD INFO ON THE HORSES AND, here is Mary's Derby Pie Recipe:
The 136th running of the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 2. You can GO HERE to learn all about the KY Derby. I need to to know if you would like to participate. The sweepstakes is only open to "The Fam." I will be randomly putting the entries into a hat with randomly assigned numbers. Mary & I will then draw numbers alphabetically by the first name of each participant until all horses have been chosen. You could possibly have 2-3 horses to cheer on to the finish line! Please comment below if you would like to be included and stay tuned for updates. Yes....the winner will receive a derby glass to proudly display in a place of prominence until the next Derby. The field should be ready to go by Thursday of this week. Mary had last year's winner - Mine That Bird - Jockey - Calvin Borel

East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report prepared for last week's meeting of Antarctic Treaty nations in Washington noted the South Pole had shown "significant cooling in recent decades.STORY
Yep. In this week's episode when he met with his daughter. New low for the show? Perhaps. Interesting season so far. I don't think it's as good as past seasons but it's still definitely worth watching. I just never thought I would see Jack Bauer crying.
