So, yeah, the rain inspired my foray into more barn stalking. The last barn I stalked was between work and home and would have been ideal.. except that...

I attempted to upload an app to my iPhone this weekend, only to be told that I lacked adequate space.  I have a 32 gig 4s.  And, oh,...

I was supposed to meet the farrier at 11:00 this morning to reattach the Kid's thrown shoe.  He called me at 10:45 to say that he'd already reattached...

I think I've described an anxiety attack before.  If so, I apologize.  But, yeah, we'll get there.  (tl;dr?  car accident) After giving Archie his beet pulp, checking to...

On Friday, I went out to the barn to ride.  I was all sorts of excited.  And then it started thundering.  Is it one of my neurosis, or...

I'd had it in the back of my mind that the deadline for the Happy 5k (previously mentioned here) was April 15th.  I signed on to the website yesterday...
