The Oaks.
May 03, 2003, 09:05 pmYesterday, no one was at work: officially it was because it was the company's anniversary. Unofficially, no one was at work because it was the Oaks.
I worked for my dad (WAVE TV) again, running tapes from the backside of Churchill Downs to the media compound in the front. My experience was pretty good. It wasn't even that bad getting up at 5:30. I was finished running tapes by 1:15 and just hung out until it was time to leave around 6.
I made a few bets and won a nice boxed exacta, getting $26 (putting me at +$12 for the day).
As we were leaving, battling the traffic on Taylor Blvd., there were four, 13-year-old kids walking down the sidewalk, three of which had shirts which proclaimed “Show Your Tits”. My dad cracked up when I said, “I'm sure those are paying off.” Idiots!
Afterwards, dad and I went to Ocho, a good end to an okay day.
