'I got the horse right here ...'

It's the most exciting two minutes in sports, as some say, and you don't have to know nuttin' about horseracing to enjoy the Kentucky Derby.

Each year on the show before the first Saturday in May, our guest is Dusty Nathan, who is loved and hated by many but for sure is a good friend of this program. He is also a comrad of mine in the ever-never-ending campaign to win money from animals running in circles.

So it is that the sun will shine bright on everyone's old Kentucky home as 20, tops, three-year-old thoroughbreds go to post to make history and a whole lotta money.

Join us at 9 p.m.

Et tube, debut

Our journey is far from over. Now there is the Cotolo Chronicles video station, the new place for us to hang together --or most assuredly we will all hang seperately.

With our exclusive director, Bill Bostic, a couple of locations, some minor ideas, time, coffee and a willingness to realize that none of this means much, if anything, to anyone, the YouTube Cotolo Chronicles page debuts.

There are no agendas, hidden or displayed. We are simply using the technology, again, in a way that pleases us and further emphasizes the spirit of the program, serving its audience old and new.

We dedicate the opening of the page to Cyrus Undergarden (pictured), a visionary who said, long before this technology reared its weird head, "Some day a tube will be yours, a sort of you-tube thing."

I'm still here, and moreso

Just when you thought it was safe to go on the internet and be free of more Cotolo krap, along comes this little cyber amusement park, as orchestrated for full-impact exposure.

Why would anyone make another stop along the web to learn what is going on with the show, with the cottage-Cotolo industry?

We address that question by ignoring it and moving on to more text that may open more doors inside of your mind.

Should the usual blog lose its humbuck and this site become the host for greater traffic, then so what? We don't count the comers, we don't monitor the movement of folks. It ain't our business, as Louis Armstrong once sang.

So enter at your own risk and drop by now and again, here and there, hether and tether, muck and myre or in any paired configuration.

We will be here for as long as we can stand it.
