Work: day off. In honor of my continued haunting of BrickFair, Rodney as a LEGO mosaic.

BrickFair: day 2
Work: day off. Still overdosing on LEGO at BrickFair. (Won a door prize yesterday!) So, here is the 2008 Olympic Equestrian Arena by Hong Kong LEGO Users Group, complete with photographer. If that link acts up, try this. What is your favorite/most bizarre Olympic souvenir?
Brickfair: day 1

The styleContinue reading “Brickfair: day 1”

It’s shaping up to be an easy week, so why push it? Although on the way out of the ring, I asked him for an in-hand jumpContinue reading “Thank you, Duke*”
Rain Delay
Work: canceled on account of rain. I’ve paid my rainy day dues. At one show, the heavens opened as I was on deck for a jump-off with a friend’s horse. I knotted the reins for grip. I put a big, honking knot in my friend’s new leather reins. Her mare pulled on one end. IContinue reading “Rain Delay”
