KY in The News!

Here is a link from a dear friend who visited KY last year and has not been the same person ever since. He is always up to date on what is happening in the commonwealth!! Here is a link to a great story: http://usatoday.feedroom.com/index.jsp?fr_story=FRdamp275343

In my (Mike) personal opinion, this still does not top the story my brother told me a few years ago. One day while coaching basketball in Bracken County (rural KY for those who do not know), he had 2 players who were unusually late for practice. They were very apologetic, warmed up quickly and joined practice. During a break, Brad asked if everything was OK. They said it was and he asked if they were OK as well. Then, the punch line, "We're sorry we were late, Coach, but we had to help our dad catch the cows that got out when the fence was left open." Oh, I miss the commonwealth and days gone by!! If you know "My Old Kentucky Home", please sing along.........

OK - what's wrong with chasing cows. I remember the day the cows got out and were outside the front windows of the junior high building. (Same complex as the horses) YEEHAW!!!
