Wittgenstein and My Old Kentucky Home
“Ludwig Wittgenstein came up at the Kentucky Derby?” Spence says.
“Most certainly,” says Admin. “Bob Costas asked the winning owner, J. Paul Reddam, for his thoughts, specifically as a former philosophy professor at USC. And Reddam instantly gave this summary of Wittgenstein and how it applied to him – ‘After all the philosophical problems have been solved, nothing will have been accomplished, so we decided to get into horse racing.'”
“Congratulations to I’ll Have Another -a very exciting finish.”

Darn ipaw.
Greetings from Kanab, Utah! We are here in God’s country, and as always, it is spectacular.
Bella, I stuck my head out the window as we drove through St. George and yelled ‘Hallo’ to Coach and Bev, but they didn’t answer. They must have been watching the Ironman race. There were so many detours that by the time we finished wandering around, the quilt shop was closed.
The Super Moon rose as we drove through the red rocks leading out of Zion.
It was magical
9:43 am on May 6th, 2012
Great Kat! The very last photo was taken not far from here!
9:49 am on May 6th, 2012
ooooo, Wölfie’s Mom. I hope you guys had a camera. I’m putting the pictures from last night in the computer as I write.
Patsy is having a blast. Last night the moon and cheese . . this morning Zoë and I took Ellie and Patsy to the river. They loved it. Got down into the Newfie inlet up to their chests and wagged their tails. Five minutes later they were ready to go in and have a nap. They are doing that right now. The rest of the Pack was not pleased.
10:08 am on May 6th, 2012
Pictures from Patsy and Melanie’s Great Adventure!

10:09 am on May 6th, 2012
The sun was setting . .

10:11 am on May 6th, 2012

10:12 am on May 6th, 2012
Then the moon started to rise through the clouds . .
10:12 am on May 6th, 2012

10:13 am on May 6th, 2012
Good Sunday Morning All!
Wolfe, sounds like you are having a great time on your road trip! Keep writing!
Masquers, the shot you are talking about is quite beautiful! I would love to go there! I think my favorite shot is the Christ the Redeemer Statute.
Macy? C. Harris?
Snowhook: Hope you guys are feeling tip top soon!
10:14 am on May 6th, 2012
Hi Riö! The mountains thank you.
Still coming through the clouds . .
10:16 am on May 6th, 2012
The Super Full Moon in May 2012. The May full moon is called, Full Flower Moon, Full Corn Planting Moon and the Milk Moon.
I call it? Precious Time With Patsy Moon ..
10:16 am on May 6th, 2012
Melanie, those pictures are awesome! Love the one of Patsy….wonder what she aw thinking? Great jobs with thw photos! Something for the MM perhaps?….
10:21 am on May 6th, 2012
Today I go to my girl’s college! I plan to hide in her closet and then the family will leave without me. Hee hee.
10:24 am on May 6th, 2012
Great photos Melanie. Thank you. It was overcast here last night so I couldn’t see the moon. Grump!
10:25 am on May 6th, 2012
Sam: Your girl is coming home so you don’t want to be left in the closet.
10:28 am on May 6th, 2012
Masquers: I really like that last photo.
10:30 am on May 6th, 2012
Happy Sunday All!
Thanks for the beautiful pictures taken by Melanie, and by those posted by Bee. We especially love the one of the guy ruding his horse under the full moon…Mom loves to do that too. We didn’t get to see or howl at the moon here. It was way too overcast. Drat.
We are going to have another busy day outdoors today. More weeds to kill and/or pull and outdoor speakers to hook up, and other stuff like that. Then we are off on some errands for good cheese, good wine, and the Grand Opening of a new place called The Dawg Store. Talk to you all much much later.
10:37 am on May 6th, 2012
Super Moon…More like Super Bummed here. I tried to wake Nana up, but she insisted there was too much cloud cover to see anything. A lot she knows! (what about that great photo someone took a county over from here? Hmmm?)
B: Thank you for the great link to pictures around the world.
Melanie: Super Photos of your Mountains, Patsy and the Super Moon. Thank Dog one of the Plunderers was on the ball!
Wolfie Your mom is not only off on a Great Road Trip, she even got to see that Spectacular Full Moon Rising.
10:50 am on May 6th, 2012
The 20-foot pine tree in front is blowing pollen dust all over the place. I’d better stay inside.
10:58 am on May 6th, 2012
Masterpiece Mysteries tonight is starting the second season of Sherlock Holmes (modern version).
11:01 am on May 6th, 2012
It was an exciting finish to the race. We saw replays.
Thanks for all the beautiful photos of the Super Wolf Moon, especially since I am related to one who refuses to do photos. Our favorite is the one with Patsy in it.
We saw the moon again this morning before it got light.
11:05 am on May 6th, 2012
Rio, The Rockies have shuffled some players around between Denver and Colorado Springs. They have taken my advice and sent their pitcher, Moscoso, back to Colorado Springs.
11:25 am on May 6th, 2012
Heh,heh, Siber-H, Always the Wolf Moon to you.
11:34 am on May 6th, 2012
B. – Sammie has the right idea because her girl has two more exams and doesn’t come home until Tuesday. We’re bringing everything except her clothes and bedding. Her dorm room is on the 4th floor and we have a small refrigerator and a Red Bull refrigerator to move, along with lots of other stuff. It could be easy for a small white dog to be overlooked in all this.
However, now I’m on to Sammie’s plan so it won’t work.
11:59 am on May 6th, 2012
Bear, It is always the Wolf Moon. All you have to do is believe.
12:12 pm on May 6th, 2012
Oh, Oh Sam!
12:43 pm on May 6th, 2012
Sammy: Someone has overheard your plans to stay at the dorm… foiled again!
1:52 pm on May 6th, 2012
Dear OleyHowlers, How on earth are you rude to a horse? Just stand there and say rude things to it?
Back from picking up the Gluten Free Cake for the Wedding. I had to take ice piping lessons in case ANYTHING happens on the trip down.
I can now make simple buttercream flowers. I am awesome.
Sam, not the closet, figure out another spot. MollyPop’s Mom is on to you.
3:30 pm on May 6th, 2012
When is the wedding?
3:45 pm on May 6th, 2012
Wedding!…Melanie’s got the Cake and the Clothes, so the wedding must be coming up soon…sniff!
3:49 pm on May 6th, 2012
We’re cracking up here,Melanie. Some typos end up being good jokes. Speaking of horses, Shiek wants to be sure everyone knows he has vacated the quilt. Also all 5 of our horses are sharing a pasture finally, beginning yesterday. So we can finally rotate pastures as we are supposed to do. There are still some chasing and hijinx going on, but this time it is Ned with the upper hand. Thanks to the fact that he has so firmly bonded with Mom’s Annie who is the Queen Bee Mare. Annie runs atight ship out there. She is the toughest of the herd, yet the sweetest of all.
3:54 pm on May 6th, 2012
Baseball!…The Rockies are playing this afternoon….sniff!…Someone is torn – should she watch the replay game tonight and work on yet another project, or should she stop and enjoy this Sunday afternoon watching her team beat the Braves…snort!…I know what I am going to do…heh!…Pass me that couch pillow…grunt!
4:10 pm on May 6th, 2012
Boutique!…Here is what she made this morning really early for the Sring Boutique…snort!…Mind you it is way more colorful in person…sniff!
4:12 pm on May 6th, 2012
The Wedding is next SATURDAY! I am out of here on THURSDAY MORNING!
Drive the 4 hours. Rest the rest of the day Thursday, Friday morning and afternoon have fun, Friday at 5 starts the rehearsal, then the dinner. Saturday is planned by the minute!!!
Sunday I take pictures of FOTAS (who will then be GLAD) having fun in her wedding dress. YSAS, OTAS and a friend will be the entourage. I have some beautiful material, and two different umbrellas to use as props.
COOL! I”M A LITTLE EXCITED. CAN YOU TELL????????????
4:20 pm on May 6th, 2012
What does GLAD mean?
4:28 pm on May 6th, 2012
Wow!…Melanie is pysched!…Wooooo!
4:52 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio: Your friend has really out done herself. I can not believe how quickly she is able to make these works of arts—no doubt she couldn’t do it without your supervision.
I have a pug sized bone to pick with AJ. Giving the gift of a common cold…grump.
I wonder if Barb of the Barb and Maggie duo is having a good time celebrating birthdays.
4:59 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio: Another work of art from your friend! She is amazing!
Yankees are putting a real pounding on KC! WhooooHooooo! I hope my Diamond Girls ( that would be you MollyPop’s Mom, and you, Sammy) have been watching!
5:01 pm on May 6th, 2012
Photos!…I don’t know, she says the projects never look very good in the photographs…sniff!…She is happy when she looks at them in person though…grunt!…The next one is going to be Red! Very red and some green. …heh!
5:02 pm on May 6th, 2012
Melanie!…Check your SDD for MMSB top secret stuff…heh!
5:10 pm on May 6th, 2012
The project is beautiful Rio. And I like the frame.
5:17 pm on May 6th, 2012
Stover!…Did you see the one she made yesterday?…sniff!…That one is very pretty in person too…grunt!
5:25 pm on May 6th, 2012
Yes I saw that also. It’s beautiful also. (Remember, I bought the cards at auction so I know how delicate and beautiful they are.) How many projects will be in the boutique?
5:35 pm on May 6th, 2012
Counting!…She has 3 made so far…sniff!…I’m thinking 5 or 6 total…snort!…Not really sure at this point. There are a couple more weekends left to make stuff so it might even be more…grunt!
5:47 pm on May 6th, 2012
Bee- Melanie wanted a new sobriquet for FOTAS once she was no longer a fiancé but a wife. We came up with Gracious, Lovely, Awesome Daughter or GLAD.
5:51 pm on May 6th, 2012
GLAD you asked, B.
Melanie: I, too, have forgotten the acronym.
Rio: Your Friend is getting very very good at this.
5:52 pm on May 6th, 2012
Cake!…What I want to know is how in the heck is Melanie going to keep the Newfs out of that cake for a whole week…snort!
5:58 pm on May 6th, 2012
Sauce!…Well someone has to go make the sauce for the spaghetti dinner tonight….snort!…I have to go and wait for something to drop into my mouth….sneeze!
5:58 pm on May 6th, 2012
I’m going to buy one Rio.
Melanie will probably keep the cake in the frig.
Thank you T&G.
5:58 pm on May 6th, 2012
Melanie – your photos are wonderful. The one of Patsy….oh my.
Rio – when your friend is a rich and famous artist, will you still talk to all of us on this here blog?
Wolfie’s Mom – we hope you are having a joyful and revitalizing vacation. Drive safe and wear your seatbelts.
6:27 pm on May 6th, 2012
Tupper!…No!
6:28 pm on May 6th, 2012
Cake!…Wedding cakes don’t fit in the fridge!…snort!…I know every inch of our fridge and theres no way a wedding cake will fit in there..sniff!
6:56 pm on May 6th, 2012
MMMMM!…The semi-homemade spaghetti sauce is smelling good!…snort!…If we ever do another cook book she will submit this easy recipe…heh!…Although, everyone already has their favorite sauce recipes I bet…grunt!
7:00 pm on May 6th, 2012
Melanie!…I forgot to mention how much I love love love that photo of Patsy sitting in the meadow with the beautiful hills behind her…snort!…My friend wishes she could get a photo of Beau and I sitting together in that meadow…sniff!…Or anywhere in fact…heh!
7:09 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio: Perhaps Melanie has a larger frig.
7:34 pm on May 6th, 2012
Riö, I have the cake in the freezer for now. It is a small cake because it’s just for people with gluten and dairy allergies. If there is any left I will attach it to an email and send it to you.
Thanks on loving the photos. Patsy and I had a great time.
Working on photos today and tomorrow. Got them into iPhoto and have begun the “primping”.
7:36 pm on May 6th, 2012
Oh yes, Bella if you are awake and feeling ok, please check your SDD.
7:49 pm on May 6th, 2012
Barb is back. Had a lovely time with the Grands, plus two extras that were staying with Kelly and Chad for a few days while their parents went to Brussels. They were great kids too, extremely well behaved, so it was nice.
Got home and did some quick clean up to get ready for the real estate lady who is coming tomorrow at 9:00 for an evaluation.
Melanie, the pictures are wonderful.
Did we miss any major events?
7:59 pm on May 6th, 2012
Alice and Abbie, please let your Staff know to check her SDD.
8:06 pm on May 6th, 2012
LInda L’Lurker, please check your SDD!
8:09 pm on May 6th, 2012
Hey!…How come even Lurkers are getting secret messages and I am NOT!?…grump!
8:18 pm on May 6th, 2012
Oh RIIIIIöööö!!!
Check your SDD!
8:23 pm on May 6th, 2012
Well, that’s it for me tonight. Patsy is telling me we need to go to bed early. Not sure why, but I agree with her.
I did a lot of cropping and smooshing and thingys tonight. Going to make sure I do the sizing correctly and then you guys will get the photos back.
Oh, and Staff? That thing you sent me for Noswad? Not sure I emailed back but tell Alice not to move!
TTFN
8:35 pm on May 6th, 2012

10:07 pm on May 6th, 2012

10:27 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio: I’m here. Somewhat. Don’t stop posting. Your friend has really out done herself. I can’t believe she is able to make the projects so quickly. I need to get working on Snowhook things for the MMSD.
Melanie: You’ve gone to bed, but you’ll have a response in the morning. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Wolfie’s Mom: I bet Coach and Bev heard you call out for them, but got caught up in the rerouting of traffic for the Ironman. If you are heading back through St. George on your way home you should stop for a show at Tuacan.
AJ is outside repairing our deck that was damaged when the snow slid from our roof. He is sniffling, sneezing, coughing, cutting, sawing and hammering. The awning over our front door also collapsed when the snow fell.
More to Rio: Psych is one of our favorite shows. We watch it online or on DVD. I think the cast was well chosen.
10:31 pm on May 6th, 2012
Quickly!…Well, if you call hours and hours upon hours “quickly”, so be it…sniff!…She will make some more as time allows…heh!sneeze!
10:32 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio, it isn’t you honest! Everyone probably just had too much weekend.
We just stopped by to say a quick good night.
10:45 pm on May 6th, 2012
Mom here, don’t like to type on iPaw. We are on the Gulf Coast with my mom. It is a pretty little town called Rockport. We plan to put in some serious goofing off time for the next few days. We hope to find a real beach tomorrow as so far all is rocky coast which I should have figured from the name. Not sure if Macy will be checking in or not as she has Holly and Biddie over for the week.
Melanie your hills are mountains to us flatlanders! Love the Patsy pic.
Nite all
10:46 pm on May 6th, 2012
Rio: I thought she started and finished this project today. By the looks of it, I would guess it would take much longer. It is beau-tiful.
10:50 pm on May 6th, 2012
Enjoying a beautiful warm Sunday here.
Rio: We just finished the second Boardwalk Empire DVD. Have yet to spot McKey. Can’t remember if he is in the first season or the second.
It does seem like your Friend is turning out these latest projects faster than usual.
SnowBella: Sorry about you and the Giant not feeling well, what with all the usual chores to do, plus repairs from the winter storms. Not fun.
Barb&Magpie: Good luck with the new realtor tomorrow.
Off to grab a late snack, then do some reading before bed.
See youse on the flip side – Bear
10:55 pm on May 6th, 2012
Time!…Blog time is deceiving…sniff!….Just like this long weekend, GONE!…grunt!…Already gone and tomorrow someone has to go back to the busy-place, which she is not looking forward to…sniff!…I wish there was someway she never had to go there again…wuffle!
10:57 pm on May 6th, 2012
I have been cleaning all day (Mr.Staff too) and then A Catty Librarian got here and so we had dinner and then I have been packing packing packing.
Now I think I will get ready for bed.
Hey Melanie, I will take some better pictures of the Noswad item when I am in Mpls this week.
Night all. Except Liz…You know what Liz.
11:15 pm on May 6th, 2012
Macy’s mom: Have fun at the beach or trying to find a beach.
Night all and morning to Liz!
Sniffle, sneeze, cough.
11:18 pm on May 6th, 2012
Sick!…Oh no!….snort!…The Giants are sick. Again…wheeze!…I thought Alaska was clean and free of germs for some reason…sniff!
Goodnight!…grunt!
4:09 pm on May 9th, 2012
[…] And then, we realized: it was their way of congratulating us, on the fact that a philosopher’s horse had won the Kentucky Derby last weekend. […]
