Getting Ready for That First Show of the Season

 Have spent the past week (another rainy cool one!) finishing up projects that will (hopefully) sell this coming weekend. The weather forecast is icky - 70's-80's and rain/thunder both days - so it will be a challenge. But who knows? I keep staying hopeful.

 "Someone" got indicted and arraigned in Florida recently - we can only hope it results in a well-deserved guilty plea. Teflon Donnie has been allowed to roam free for far too long. Most of his former advisers and cabinet members have turned against him and even some members of his family have attempted to distance themselves (looking at you, Ivanka Kushner). If it weren't so unsettling for the country it would be a great movie. And no doubt we'll see that film in the future. No thanks, I lived it!

 This year's Belmont was a real fee-good story - small stable woman trainer wins with $35K horse. And the jockey was Javier Castellano, who won the Derby. His Derby mount, Mage, was not entered after a hard fought third place in the Preakness. A bit of synchronicity - the owner of the winner, Arcangelo, is Blue Rose Farm and the woman who creates the incredible flower blankets for the winners of the major races chose blue roses for this year's accent to the traditional white carnations. How cool?
