Nevermind
This has been a most frusterating day from a technology stand point. At any point I'm expected horns to protrude from my forehead and my head to pop off my neck from the sheer lunacy of it all. Is it too much to expect that the 99 cent bagal I bought at panera provide me decent internet for an hour? Apparently. Obviously the saddle pics are not getting […]
Back to work - Addendum #2
Last one! I promise. I hate hate HATE these firewalls! Another reason I have made the decision to lightly work her (walk, trot, hand jogging) is because that is what is recommended, even during an injury recovery such as a bowed tendon. My vet has advised me that the worse thing I could do for a horse with a tendon injury is to give them complete rest. […]

Welcome to the Future
This will mark my 100th blog post. A huge THANK YOU to all of my readers...you are the reason I keep blogging! I started blogging due to the fact that I enjoy writing, and this would be a good outlet for that, as well as wanting a place to catalog my accounts of rides and pony antics. I started blogging in April of 2007, so it's taken my this long to […]
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad! Today is my father's XXth birthday...he can enlighten anyone who asks what numbers are supposed to fill in those x's. :))) I couldn't ask for a better riding partner to spend the hours and miles with along the trail. Thank you for following me into this crazy horse obsession, and for making me a better horseperson along […]

Officially Official
Sunday afternoon, and I am sitting in the Reno Nevada airport, watching the snow fall. Last night it started before sunset, and has kept falling. It reminds me that this happened to us just last week at home! But here, they actually have snow plows, and are prepared for such weather. Our flight is delayed so far, about an hour, but we have no place else to […]
Almost......
It is almost here. In less than 24 hours we will have our big awards banquet and we will receive the award we aimed for this past ride season. As I watch a bit of the Olympics, I look at the faces of the competitors, and know a bit about the thoughts they have as they get read to compete, or afterwards waiting for scores, or later, as those who won, stand u […]

"The Untouchables" Aired a Potent Series Episode Fifty Years Ago Today
As so aptly noted by The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows: "With the chatter of machine-gun fire and the squeal of tires on Chicago streets, The Untouchables brought furious controversy— and big ratings— to ABC in the early 1960s." This was no more evident than in the March 10, 1960 episode "The White Slavers." […]
Stephen J. Cannell on "Wiseguy"
Wiseguy: The Collector's Edition gets released on DVD tomorrow. Although short-lived (it ran from 1987-90), Wiseguy garnered Emmy nominations for Best Drama series and acting nominations for star Ken Wahl and supporting player Jonathan Banks; Wahl was awarded the Golden Globe.
