Today we got as far as Dry Ridge Kentucky, a ways north of Lexington. Tomorrow we plan to spend a good portion of the day at the Kentucky Horse Park, home of many of the most famous winners of the king\u2019s sport like Cigar, and the resting place of legends such as Man O War. I\u2019ve visited it once before, and I\u2019m excited to get to go back. I have a mission. The first time I came through, I had not yet met my buddy Gershwin. It wasn\u2019t until a couple months after I had bought him that I learned that one of his previous owners had purchased a brick of the entrance pavilion and had \u201cPlay It Grand\u201d printed on it! How cool is that!? The individual who told me got a picture of it for me, but I\u2019m determined to see it with my own eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">The scenery so far on this drive has not been much to speak of, as anyone who has ever driven through Southern Illinois and Indiana can tell you. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>I have no doubt it will improve as we move farther into the Bluegrass State.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Since the scenery wasn\u2019t much, I spent most of my time on my computer and on my phone, Tweeting and working on my report for Connor Trinneer at the Chicago Creation Convention. Don\u2019t worry folks, I\u2019m almost done!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">We\u2019ll be starting early in the morning so we can have enough time at the park while still putting enough miles behind us.
