Currently Listening More to This Life By Steven Curtis Chapman see related

 So another day and not much to say.  The Kentucky Derby was incredible.  Barbaro looked like the second coming of Secretariat. The festivities surrounding the race pale in comparison to the actual race.  How many things can you still say that about?  This is truly an incredible event, not one of those made for TV productions that the actual event is usually anticlimactic. 

Now sure if I will ever tire of the Triple Crown races.  For a series of events that the total time might be seven minutes, spread out over about a month, I really enjoy it.  Not sure but I think the last triple crown winner was Affirmed in 1978.  It seems like Alydar finished second in all three races.  That was a rivalry unmatched in horse racing history.

I was able to finish my laundry. Not sure of the total load count, but all my clothes are clean except what I was wearing yesterday.

I expect to have a good day today.  Not sure what I will do for lunch.  I may attend a SS Planning meeting.  Red Lobster might be a better choice.  I have a $5 coupon but I can't print it out.  Hopefully my mom can get it to print out.

OK, went to Red Lobster for lunch.  I had the Atlantic Salmon, grilled, with a sweet and spicy glaze.  It was very good.

Church was good.  I was volunteered to teach the next chapter in our study.  I think the person doing the volunteering was selecting people based on his being selected to teach the last two chapters.  One of the chapters he taught was titled, "Salvation Through Sex." I sensed a touch of bitterness.  I think I would have been better selected to teach the fourth chapter.  It was something based on the Far Eastern religions.  I could have watched some old reruns of Kung Fu or The Karate Kid to prepare.  The chapter I am teaching is called, "Salvation Through Science."  I will not be confused as a scientist any time soon.  Not sure what I could be confused for.  I know a lot of things confuse me.  At work I am confused for a lift truck driver.  Too bad we don't have a chapter titled, "Salvation Through Lift Truck Driving."  I am pretty sure there won't be lift trucks in heaven.  And since we don't take any of our baggage to heaven, there won't be a need for lift trucks to move our luggage around.  

That kind of reminds me of a joke.  A guy walks up to an airline ticket counter and ask for a ticket to Phoenix and for his luggage to go to Toledo.  The person working the counter tells him that they can't do that.  The guy ask, "Why not?  You did it last time?"  Maybe we go to heaven and our baggage goes to hell?  I mean one way or another it will burn up anyway.

I think my afternoon will be best spent taking a nap.  We will have some out  at work tonight, so I should have enough to do to keep me busy for the whole eight hours.
