What is failure? Who decides? Two-thirds of the way through, I am declaring failure of my SketchBox foray. While there could be a sudden reversal with the last two boxes, at this point I’m not holding my breath. The original impetus for my six-month subscription was a thank you to a friend (waves Hi!). IContinue reading “Letter Art: SketchBox Fail”

State of the Blog: Another Aborted Twitter Adventure
@RodneysSaga – active briefly, inactive once again. @RodneySagaBlog – active, for now. Post alerts, except for weekends [Weekends Off]. Aside from a set of horse show tweets [Nationals], I had not Twittered since January of 2016. Then came Rolex 2017. I followed anyone who was posting on websites, Facebook, or Instagram. I even resurrected myContinue reading “State of the Blog: Another Aborted Twitter Adventure”
Foto Friday: Finding Fotos
No photos, more photo discussion [last week, Distance Problems]. A while back [Self-Improvement], I resolved to have more visuals. What should I do if I didn’t take a photo at the time? For example, yesterday’s post could’ve used a picture of Mr. Whizbang [Driving]. Reenaact If it’s at home, I can recreate the event [Bratitude].Continue reading “Foto Friday: Finding Fotos”
Driving Mr. Whizbang
Driving Thursday Mr Whizbang and I are not as good as Alvin and I were last year. Alvin’s not only a great horse, he’s an easy-going one. He’ll reward you for being close enough. Mr. Whizbang, not so much. I have the feeling that there is a very specific way that Mr. Whizbang wants toContinue reading “Driving Mr. Whizbang”
Where The Rot Sets In
Saddle Seat Wednesday I had another long ponderment planned to build on last week’s discussion of my deteriorating saddle seat position [Back To Kindergarten]. I find myself without enthusiasm for the thinking. Short version. 1) The position is unfamiliar, which makes me insecure. When things go well, I can cope. When things do not goContinue reading “Where The Rot Sets In”
Proper Walk Protocol
What is the right way to walk? I walk. I walk a lot. Mostly around our field. Three+ laps is approximately a mile. My goal is four laps daily [My Two Horses]. I walk for exercise and for sanity [Field Walks]. I usually take a dog or a horse with me [By George]. While IContinue reading “Proper Walk Protocol”
By George, I Think He’s Got It
Since our riding supervisor has been occupied keeping the ship afloat, Rodney and I have been going on handwalks most of last week & weekend. This simple exercise has been the scene of some of his worst come-aparts [Explosion]. When I say simple, I mean s-i-m-p-l-e. I am asking him to stroll once or twiceContinue reading “By George, I Think He’s Got It”
