The Kentucky Derby

Cousins,

I just got back from the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby, and it was incredible! I have watched the race on TV for years now, and it does not give Church Hill Downs any justice. I was able to sit in the grandstands for the Friday race, The Oaks Race, and it was awesome. SOOOOOOO many good looking ladies in big hats. I have decided that every city should have a hat festival because those fancy dresses and crazy hats do wonders for a young single man such as myself! Anyway, I would highly recommend everyone heading to the derby at least once to check out the festivities! Betting on ponies and drinking an ice cold mint julip is a lifestyle I could easily pick up. As I gazed upon millionaires row on saturday during the derby it gave me a new drive to succeed. I foresee a giant Dietz reunion in one of the suites....Papa and Granny would love it! I hope everyone is doing well and I will see you soon.

Ted

P.S. if your interested in next year's derby let me know because I am going back!

We watched the Derby on TV while we were on vacation and I definitely think we saw you Ted, you were the one next to the hot girl in the big hat right? Thought so. Such a lady killer...

Sounds like you had a blast, I would definitely like to attend at least once in the years to come. Maybe if we can convince another Dietz to Owen-sit, we can make a trip. You know that Jen and I would definitely enjoy a mint julep!!

And by the way...I want to wear a big hat.
