A day away
Nope, I didn’t run off to a spa. Or hit the mall. Or catch up on all the Oscar films.
I honestly thought I had posted yesterday. Yeah. Have you noticed how close together “Save” and “Publish” are? This time, it worked to my advantage. Does anyone have a horror of releasing a post before its [...]
Visiting an Old Friend
The horse with his eye on the ridge ahead is Creator. (Let me know if the picture is too big and too slow to load.

Anyway, I promised a Part 3, [...]
Homes of the Stars – Part 1
Let’s say that you’re a fan of Michael Jordan. And let’s say that you find out that he offers “calling hours” every so often in his home. Wouldn’t you like to know more?
Well, if you’re a fan of champion thoroughbred race horses and if that horse is retired in the Lexington, KY, area, you just [...]
Me ‘n Luke
Let’s see if I can upload an image …
Luke is one of the Budweiser Clydesdales based out of Merrimack, NH.
Luke and his trainer/handler Bill Madson drove down to CT one fine May morning to headline at the H.O.R.S.E. of CT spring open house. H.O.R.S.E. of CT is an equine shelter and farm in
Luke is about [...]
