Back from the Pogue Party, which was, as always, splendidly splendid, and which is still going strong. The food was yummilicious and the folks were interesting and fine. I didn't win the derby pool this year (I did last year), but I didn't look at enough info - had I, I would have bet the winner, Giacomo, because that, of course, is the name of the Jester that Danny Kaye impersonates in The Court Jester, my favorite childhood film, and the horse's number (which I hadn't known when I placed bets) was 10, my lucky number.
