Well, it was a very good week and a very good weekend. Yesterday, my brother pulled together a great bachelor party for me, which ended up being an all day and all night event. We began with the Cardinals game against the Milwaukee Brewers. It was a pretty boring game, as the redbirds went down 1-0, with the only run coming in the first inning.
However, it was awesome, because there was a group of about 15 people there hanging out and watching baseball. I had a great time. After the game, we went to a bar down the street, Mike Shannon’s, and awaited the Preakness to begin before the second half of the night started, which also involved horse racing.
We stayed at Shannon’s for a while before moving the herd down to the local Hooters a couple blocks away. Now, let me say this, the “theme” of Hooters, and you all know what I’m talking about, does nothing for me. The food, however, does. I really enjoy the wings. They are fantastic, seriously, and I took down plenty of them along with plenty of beer.
After Hooters, we drove east to Fairmount Park, a local horse track in the St. Louis area just across the Mississippi on the Illinois side. It’s a really fun time. You can get in for $2.50 and make $2 bets on each of the $8 horse races that occur that night. I hit three races and came out just slightly ahead for the night, which was great. My brother, though, nailed race 8. He picked the winner, the horses that finished first and second (exacta) and the horses that finished first, second and third (the trifecta). He walked away with a cool $47 on a $6 bet. Awesome.
Today, I was back at the ballbark, this time Wendy was with me. We had great seats in the upper deck but right behind home plate. When we got there, we were sitting in the sun, which was a little warm. By the 2nd inning, we were begging for the sun to come back. I felt like Han Solo when he was searching for Luke on the iceworld of Hoth. Not cool, wind…not cool….
Anyway, it was a good ending to a great weekend. I ate and drank plenty yesterday, but it didn’t set me back at all, as I was still down. I only have until this coming Saturday to get down to tux weight, so I have to work extra hard this week.
More tomorrow.
