The Coming of Spring

-

Mrs. Brann and I just returned from a week on St. John, which is quite possibly the most beautiful 20 square miles of beach front property in the US. Spring has been slow in coming to the Bluegrass this year, so the weather down there was a nice change of pace. Most of St. John is a national park, and I can't think of a better way to put our tax dollars to work than maintaining some of the finest beaches in the world. There is even an underwater snorkeling trail, and I can now say from experience that it will take your breath away.

Upon our return, we were able to lose some money during opening weekend at Keeneland. It was cold and overcast, but this just solidified my long standing theory that there is no such thing as a bad day at the races. We even got to meet up with Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Branic Esq., who were visiting from the Circle City. Sunday I was able to talk them into a trip to Woodford Reserve distillery, my spiritual home (HAHAHA!!!), and I think it's safe to say I've opened two more sets of eyes to the wonders of "America's native spirit."

This week I am back in the Big Apple working on a project for a Dutch company with a big US presence. This project will take me to Chicago next week and Wichita, KS the following week. I can't wait. In addition to being a major hub for airplane manufacturing, Wichita is home to the soon-to-be-famous "Wingnuts" baseball team. I can't make this stuff up.

hot dog buns

The secret to the bread pudding at Keeneland is hot dog buns. My friend Matt tells me this and his sources are absolutely reliable - he heard it from the chef himself. I was fortunate enough to have some of this excellent bread pudding this week, as Ella and I attended day 1 of the Keeneland fall yearling sale. The top sale of the day brought a mere $5.2 million, as compared with $11.7 million for the top horse the following day. There are so many great things about the Keeneland Association, just one of which is that 99% of their activities are free (or at least inexpensive) and open to the general public. Try popping in for an auction at Sotheby's, or Derby day at Churchill downs - it's just not going to happen. The Keeneland fall yearling sale is one of the premier thoroughbred events in the world, and it's free and open to the public. Heck, all you need is a letter of credit on file, and you too can plunk down $11 million plus for a 1-year-old never-raced-before p

88 Keys

-
My loving wife bought me a piano for my 30th birthday. Our local piano store was having a good sale, so I got this present early - it was delivered last week. I understand that other family members have also contributed to this gift, making it that much more special. I've wanted my own piano ever since I left home, where I had one available to me at all times. That was just over 10 years ago. Playing piano is something I've always enjoyed, so to have it back in my life after so long is really a shock to the system. I walk by my new piano every day now, and it still hasn't quite settled in that it's mine, and it's here to stay. I have no idea how to say thank you for a gift like this. I did make my way to the music store last week as well, and picked up 3 books: 1) 19 popular works by Chopin 2) Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" words and music 3) A book on jazz theory, specifically chord structures Let's just say that cracking open some she

Some thoughts on impeachment

-
We've had a few days of the impeachment circus so far, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. For sure, impeachment is always a political process, so it's divisive and disrupts the national dialog whether we like it or not. So I'm writing this piece mostly to try and wrap my head around what I've learned from the witnesses so far. For background, I'm looking at the current proceedings in the broader historical context of impeachment. We've only done impeached 2 presidents in the last 250 years, so it's kind of a big deal. Nixon left office before Congress actually had a chance to impeach him, though they almost certainly would have. So what is the "standard" for impeachment as it has been applied in these other cases: Andrew Johnson defied Congress. The "radical Republicans," as they were called at that time, wanted to punish the southern states and the Confederacy. Johnson disagreed, as he basically thought that approa
