Happy Friday

I can hear the birds singing, not too far away, but they haven't come to my back deck yet :(
On other news, my son took me to the Mall where we had lunch; Korean dumplings, Sushi and some soup that was spicy and delicious! Then we went to the Aquarium store there in the Mall where my son bought an aquarium set for his Cichlid "Fat Tony" that has been living in a bowl. And he bought for me another gold fish. This one is a beautiful metallic gold Fancy Fan Tail, still on the small side so she wasn't very expensive. Madelyn (the Fan Tail) and Marty (the Bubble Eye) make quite a cute pair! Of course I don't know what sex each really is!
I laughed and remarked to my son, it seemed odd to be lunching on raw fish just before going to buy one for a pet LOL
The Aquarium Store had gotten in some more Bubble Eyes, but they were still "in quarantine" to make sure they were OK before putting them in the Tank to sell. In another 2 weeks or so my son will buy one of those Bubble Eye for me. I think that 3 fish in the Tank will be good.
I watched a movie tonight, "Collateral Damage". Good movie.
Don't know if I'll watch The Kentucky Derby this year. I really loved "Smarty Jones", talk about perfection in horse flesh. Won the first 2 races of The Triple Crown. I watched the video, the close up, on TV of the last race of the Triple Crown and I am convinced that the jockey on "Smarty Jones" was surreptitiously pulling back on the reigns, not flapping them, or whatever the word is, to spur the horse on. And THAT is why Smarty lost x(
And then, last year, that magnificent horse (darn I can't remember it's name) broke it's leg. All that really pisses me off.
On the other hand, it could be fun to watch The Derby this year to see Queen Elizabeth and all the pomp and ceremony that goes along with the Derby, with or without a Royal present. I love that stuff, Pomp and Ceremony and Fancy Hats!
So, when did wealthy parents, of Social Stature, stop teaching Class and Culture to their daughters? I am speaking, of course, of that Gauche Brat Paris Hilton. My gold fish have more Genuine Class than Miss Hilton!
It's bedtime, and let's see what Saturday, May 5th, brings! Cinco de Mayo!
Oh, BTW, May 5 is the one year Anniversary of my divorce. I get to share my Anniversary of Freedom with an entire Nation :D

I think cinco de mayo had something to do with the Mexicans loving mayonnaise and a ship going down.
