Melbourne Cup

This morning, Jane and I dressed up a little bit and went to a restaurant to watch the Melbourne Cup, one of the biggest horse races in the world. I entered into the sweepstakes, where I pay $5, randomly draw a horse's name from a bucket, and wait to see what happens. What happened is that the horse I drew, Shocking, won! I won $75! Without having a single clue what was going on! It was very exciting. On the television, when Shocking won, his trainer went nuts. It was really sweet, actually. He was hugging everyone and looked like he was going to pass out. I guess it's the same as if your child became President or something. Anyway, it was a lovely time!
