Preakness Winner Video

Photo by Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
Kent Desmoreaux and Big Brown cross the finish line at the Preakness Stakes.
You can see Big Brown's white "Turbo" button on his left side. I guess the jockey pushed it! The video from the blimp shows his amazing acceleration in the stretch. 2nd place was 5 and 1/4 lengths behind him.
The Belmont is in 3 weeks. We'll see if Big Brown can take the Triple Crown! Last one was Affirmed in 1978, I think!
NBC coverage link below - copy and paste it. (I am unable to embed it for a live link.)

Big Breakthrough
This is a first at cat central! All three are touching! The two girls have never touched without it ending in hissing, slapping, etc. After ONLY 6 years, they can actually be touching without a fight! Moxy on left, Ada center, Enzo behind Ada.
I have a temp job next week, laying out a newspaper for a girl on vacation. I interviewed for a permanent job at a local print shop over a week ago. They will be making a decision this week. Pray pray . . .

My Portfolio
I wanted my friends and family to see what I've been doing. I found a site that will allow you to post your portfolio so that prospective employers can view it. Since I am actively looking for work(!!!!), I posted some of my projects at this URL "http://www.filetable.com". Once you get there, use the access code "sample" to get in to my uploads. I interviewed for a prepress job on Friday. I'm one of three currently up for the job and they want to fill it quickly. I do NEED a job!!! So that would be nice if they chose me...

Kentucky Derby Picks

Here are my picks for the Derby tomorrow. There will be TWENTY horses in the race. My favorite is Pyro. I like his breeding and I watched him in the Risen Star Stakes. He doesn't have good speed numbers, but the favorite got the outside post and may loose time getting to the rail. Eight Belles will give the boys some competition, but I doubt if she gets in the money. So, my picks are Pyro, Z Fortune, Big Brown. In that order. But if I were ACTUALLY betting, I would be conservative and just bet Pyro to place. I'm a wimp.... Double click the picture to see more detail. I hope you have fun watching the ponies tomorrow!
