Goodbye Guy
As those of you who saw my twitter updates the past few days know, we had to put down one of our horses over the weekend. Unfortunately its one of those things we will never know how it really happened. All we know for sure is that what of it: Goliath broke his leg and…

Puppies!
Correction from my earlier twitter, there are 9 puppies (not 7).

Answer to my post the other day: what else can go wrong
Short version: I crashed my car up a bit last night. Long version: never in my life have I seen 1/4 of rain cause so much havoc. In the Cincinnati area we have been in a bit of a cold spell for the last few days. Never getting out of the 20s in the day…

Confidence
Anyone who reads here regularly (all 4 of you ;-)) know that I try to stay away from the political arena. Trust me, I have opinions, I just choose to mostly keep them to myself.

Tis the season
Wow, more than a month since my last post. Usual excuses apply: work’s been taking up too much of my free time, lot’s to do around home. Oh, and I got my appendix taken out. I have been doing a lot to get ready for Christmas. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year seems…

Dogs
For some reason we seem to be accumulating dogs lately. No, we’re not buying them, they are just showing up. It started with the Black and Tan coon dog on the left. We now know he officially belongs to one of our neighbors down the street, but he spends a good 1/3rd of his time…
