Doug & Lisa host 30th Preakness Party

Keeping up a long tradition, Doug and Lisa hosted a party at their Maryland home on the day of the Preakness Stakes.

Scores of family members and friends turned out for food and drink and conversation and, incidentally, a horse race on TV.

As at the track, American Pharoah was the favorite in the party pool, so there were plenty of winners -- including Liz, who has now picked the winning horse ten years in a row.

The thunderstorm that rolled through the Baltimore area just before the race made for a messy track but barely bothered the partygoers.

Here's a batch of photos Dan took while circulating through the crowd.



And here's a video of the part of the crowd that gathered around the TV to watch the race.
