Louisville here I am......

After being delayed out of DC by about an hour Casey & I thought a $7 drink on the plane was well deserved. After finally landing in Cincinatti, OH we weren’t shocked to find that our 30 minute flight to Louisiville, KY was delayed simply because it seemed to be the luck of our day. However, this was a perfect time to continue drinking. We positioned our self strategically at the bar in front of our gate (ALWAYS THINKING.) Halfway through my bottle of wine Casey figures out why we were being delayed. Louisville at this point had been flooding for the past hour. 7 inches of rain was falling every hour… The river was rising and cars were floating down the street! NICE!!!! Luckily, the airport was far enough away from the river, it didn’t flood but it was just the heavy rains that had been delaying us. So after my bottle of wine and his few beers, we were able to board the plane! The turbulence was not exactly what we needed but we made it alive and thought this trip may not be so bad after all after we stepped up to the rental car counter! 1 brand new 4 runner and Cadillac STS later we headed to our hotel which of course was super nice! My wine was wearing off and the hangover was starting to sink in just about the time I yanked my 51 lb bag out of the trunk. I yanked hard and out it came and landed right on my toe. That 51 lb suitcase landed on only one toe! With in minutes, it was black and blue and starting to swell! Hangover at 4pm, hungry, tired, and now… broken toe! What a successful trip and it was only day 1!

Day 2 wasn’t nearly as exciting as Day 1 but oh my, Louisville is filled with quite a few odd ducks. So far I have met a guy whose real name is Colonel, two guys that look like Seth and Mc Lovin from Superbad, a girl that reminds me of Molly Shannon’s character in Superstar(I mean identical personalities) a kid that looks like Herman Munster, A Jimmy Kimmel look a like and one that resembles Baby Huey. No lie! So after spending all day working with a broken toe, a pretty big hang over, knowing the sox lost to the rays in the 14th inning and very little sleep, you can imagine how much entertainment this provided for me. I laughed my way through the day and right into the bar that would only turn out to be the cause of my next hangover!
