It is late. 2AM. The day after Thanksgiving - no wait, the day after that. It's gotten cold after almost record breaking heat on turkey day. The house is asleep, kids on inflatable beds, parents in strange rooms - the family gathered. A calm quiet, I sit nursing my jet lag, wide awake.

Who would have thought I would end up here? The mere mention of the word Kentucky conjured up a land quite distant, horses, not much else.
