34. The way he came up the rails was a thing of beauty
We snuck mini-bottle of wine into my dad's room at the nursing home (he's there for 2 weeks for ortho rehab) and had a mini-Kentucky Derby party. One of the Haitian aids snuck in and watched with us - he knows a lot about the different jockeys and was telling us who to watch and why.

All of a sudden, my SO said "hey - watch that horse on the rail! He's breaking out!" (yeah, so we don't know the lingo - we're not horse people).

Very fun!

It was also pretty funny when my 85 yo dad told me to hide the wine so he wouldn't get in trouble - but he was pretty quick to ditch his water, save the ice, and put the cup out for a snort when we showed up!
