Big Brown... How do they come up with these names?

Horse Race

 

Warning... This post has no real estate value, but you might learn something about me. 

Cas (my husband) worked for United Parcel Service (UPS) for over 20 years and retired from "Big Brown" to pursue a career in Real Estate.  Even though he was a manager, he wore "browns" as the uniforms are affectionately called when on road or during the peak holiday season when everyone works countless hours to get all the Christmas gifts delivered. 

The man doesn't own anything brown anymore, and probably never will.

What does this have to do with a horse race... Nothing, but I have have to root for this big brown horse.  The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, I'll be watching, will you?

And they're off!

The owner of the HOUSTON TEXANS owns a horse called Cowboy Cal...that seems to be big news around Houston but why it's such big news that this horse is in gate 17 is beyond me.

Hi Debbie.  The Kentucky Derby is the one race a year I do watch.  Cas?  What does that stand for?

Debbie, I'm sure your husband has wore enough brown to last a lifetime!  I don't blame him for not wearing brown anymore! :)

Ron- I love that name...  I'm also fond of Pyro, a girl loves a good fire.

Ken - It's his initials Charles - Anthony - Summers...  Charles must have been a popular name.  He has friends named - Chuck, Chas, Charlie, etc... there wasn't anything left.  So they went with the initials.  Charles is way to formal.

Robert - He's worn a lifetime worth of brown...  You are exactly right.

Debbie, this is so funny.  I was going to write a post about how much I love my UPS guy.  I never see him, but magically he brings me cool stuff.  I am always glad for Big Brown.  I am excited for the Derby!!

Debbie, I've always had a honkering for men in uniform...but don't tell Cas...he might not come to our next pool party! Enjoy the Derby...I'll admit, I have no interest, so I'll let you be excited :)

Audrey - I know, I love my UPS guy too.  Plus the guy who delivers my packages, they are a hard working group of people.

Peter - Don't worry, I'm a joker...  I can take it.

Mike - I just love to watch the run.

LaShawn - You would like it, there are cocktails involved.  I'll have to have a derby party next year.

OMG.... SPELL CHECK IS DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!
