Rough Rehash of Dinner Last Night

Lorraine: horses olympics blah blah blah, eventing team such and such, thoroughbred blather, vet inspections tomorrow, yaddah yaddah yaddah....

Dan: So, you think that Boyd Martin will make the team no matter what?

Lorraine:(stops in mid-sentence with a mouth full of corn on the cob) what did you say?

Dan: Well, I mean, if he and Neville had a fall at the Trials, do you think they'll take Otis even as young as he is with the London venue being so intense?

Lorraine: (just kind of choking at this point) ummm, what?

Dan: Of course you want them to choose Remington first, because he's your favorite, but you sounded pretty skeptical about that.

Lorraine: You....You've been listening this whole time?

Dan: I like Mystery Whisper.


Marriage: (mare-ahj, noun) When you realize that someone is listening when you talk about all the boring stuff you love, and that makes them hotter. 



PS: Steak, Corn on the Cob, Grillin Beans and Root beer. Orange Julius for dessert.

I'm pretty sure I said Careless Whisper. Not Mystery Whisper. And as I recall, I was singing Careless Whisper by Wham, so really I guess I was only half listening.

But the rest of that really truly did happen. :)

That is true. You did call him Careless Whisper.

I forgive that you renamed Phillip Dutton's mount after your favorite Wham song, in exchange for the fact that you remembered that Boyd Martin was half australian, just like his horse.

Benefit of the doubt, DTJ, benefit of the doubt.

Utah Lake Adventure and Other Musings.

It's been a wonderful fall. It seemed every tree has burst out in bright, hypnotizing gold this year, with hardly any red or orange, and I've been able to witness a lot of it. I'm immensely grateful to have the sort of work/life schedule where I can go out and enjoy the crisp air and changing colors and shocking beauty of fall. Unlike other years where I've had to tamp down my agony about the colder weather, for once, I was happy to put the summer behind me and walk into the future. In all honestly, this past spring and summer were maybe the most difficult I've traversed in my happy, comfortable first-world life. It's been a bit of a transition, leaving behind a good career and bustling office for a better career but lonelier landscape. Saying goodbye to my mare and finding her a better fit ultimately led to me taking a break from what has been an emotional, physical, social, therapeutic outlet and passion for me for many years, which in turn meant losing re...

Tidings of Comfort, Victory, and GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

1.  My Cranberry pie finally won!  After a tragic finish at an ugly sweater party, and being overshadowed by the chocolate pecan pie at Thanksgiving, my Nantucket Cranberry Pie (which I took to the next level with a chocolate cream cheese icing)  got first place at the office holiday party Top Chef competition. I am happy. 2.  I also coincidentally won a caption contest on my favorite horse blog, and for my witty mockery was awarded a gift certificate for horse tack!  As I currently don't have a horse of my own, I'm giving it to Camp K.  I hope my mother and her 3 horses, 2 mules and 2 donkeys forgive me.  But I'm still claiming victory on that one, and relishing in being mentioned on my favorite blog in the same post as my international heroes. 3. GIVEAWAY!!!!  I was inspired by a number of blogs giving away x-boxes, TVs, designer handbags, and gift cards to the moon, but I decided that you don't actually need to be rich to share the lo...
