68°F12:55 PM Weekend events that make the end of summer freedom tolerable [Family and parenting]
This weekend, this one final weekend before the inception of the school year can not be wasted. No, this weekend is the end to all that smells of summer. No more sleeping in, no more sending kids to bed with sweaty heads and dirty feet, no more dilemma over what to do today. Monday morning, bright and early, life will accelerate, the routine machine will squash daily freedom, the school year will begin. As a teacher, I feel the magnitude of this weekend, so plan wisely, live it up, suck the last bit of pleasure from this final weekend. Check below for a few ideas.
Weekend trifecta of family events August 5-7 [Family and parenting]
Need a little help betting on family fun this weekend? Check out the following favorites for a weekend trifecta sure to please.
Party Recap: Ferdinand's Ball 2011 [Kentucky Derby]
Ferdinand's Ball was held last night at the Frazier International History Museum. In its sophomore year, the goal was to slim down their expenses to maximize fundraising for the ever important Old Friends Farm, which rescues retired thoroughbreds, saving them from the likes of the glue factory.
Kentucky Derby parties: A rundown [Kentucky Derby]
Derby Week is marked by an impressive slate of extremely festive social events ranging from campouts like the Hillbilly Infield, to the most celebrated party of them all, the Barnstable Brown Gala.
Most Derby parties function as a fundraiser for different animal friendly charities, but some are just a pay-at-the-door affair. In either case, the atmosphere should be festive and the drinks a bit on the strong side . . . Derby only comes once a year.

HERstory at Frazier International History Museum [Family and parenting]
I’ve always known my son, the finger-gun sniper from the backseat of the car, the one who creates weaponry from the organic produce in the refrigerator, would enjoy the live demonstrations and impressive collections at the Louisville’s Frazier International History Museum. But next month, I’m confident my daughter will too.
Frazier Museum offers free snow-day admission [Family and parenting]
The Frazier History Museum is offering FREE admission today, January 11th, from 9:00-5:00. My natives sure are restless, already jaded with the falling snow and tired of watching movies, so what a better way to keep their minds stimulated than with Frazier's collection of more than a 1000 years of history.
My ridiculous list of 21 things you probably won't see at Breeders' Cup [Breeders' Cup]
I don't really have much to say about the Breeder's Cup this year. I can't say I'd have much to say about it any year. That means that anything I write is bound to come off as ridiculous and/or forced. So, I might as well go all out. Here's a ridiculous list of 21 things you probably won't see at the Breeder's Cup this year:
Cockfighting..because it's illegal.
Snoop Dogg…because he's bizzle for rizzle.
