Some friends and I had some fun making some big-time firecrackers out of sparklers (affectionately called 'sparkler bombs') this Fourth of July. We made sure to get HD footage of the whole shebang and here it is.

This is our view of the Kentucky Derby from the third turn in the infield. We thought Recapturetheglory had won because the screen kept showing him as the leader all the way through the home stretch when in fact it was Big Brown who was in the lead by then! I hope no one tore up any betting tickets prematurely!

The puppy on the farm, Pippin, is always happy to see people around. His little tail goes flapping and he loves to get as close to your face as he can...which is hard considering he's still so short.

Turn up the volume and enjoy this masterpiece. You'll be glad you did.
