Celebrate Good Times, Come On...

yesterday was Pat's graduation party at monmouth park racetrack in Oceanport, NJ. it was a beautiful day and the perfect venue. the location of the party - the patio terrace - was excellent. there was an open bar, delicious food, and even our own betting teller for the races. friends and family enjoyed the celebration from noon until around 6:30 pm. some pics from the party are posted below.

also, kim pointed out that there was a major flaw with my scoring of the baby pool, so i'm changing the scoring completely. here's how it will play out - everyone starts out with 1000 points. if you guess the wrong gender: -15 points. if you guess the wrong date: -1 point per day. if you guess the wrong weight: -1 point per ounce. the winner is the player with the highest score. you will still email me your guess (gender, date, and weight) at douglasraynor@gmail.com. only 1 submission per person. submissions must be emailed by July 7. the due date set by our doctor is July 20.

now, a challenge to anyone who might be heading to Las Vegas anytime soon. there's a bar off the strip called the Double Down Saloon. i will pay for you to drink the bacon martini, made with bacon infused vodka. our good friend Larry in NH calls bacon "God's Candy," but i'm pretty sure he wouldn't even try this. i would need proof that you drank the entire martini in order to get your $$. i would also want a full review of the martini because if it happens to be good, i would like to try to replicate it.
