Motivation

My paternal family has a history of adult-onset diabetes. I really should not drink as much soda as I do. At my last blood test, my sugar numbers where a trifle high. I really should not drink as much soda as I do. I’ve been having insomnia recently. I really should not drink as muchContinue reading “Motivation”

Ivy League

A cheap* shot, but I’m being very good about getting to the gym, sticking to my diet, and working with Rodney twice a day. Leaving me no time to execute the brilliant idea I had for today. *Given the cost of tuition, not cheap in monetary terms, but the post was certainly cheap in termsContinue reading “Ivy League”

Hashtags – Show Tweets: Pro Am, Perry, GA

The proper use of hashtags, I believe, is to group tweets from the same event. Let’s say a bunch of folks go to a horse show in Georgia. All tweets would include the hashtag #GaProAm.

Between Mathilda, car trouble, and the weather, I missed one show and most of my winter lessons. I was fortunateContinue reading “Causation”

Back To The Bigtime

Show Pix

Last weekend, the barn began the show season. WITHOUT ME. They all had a grand time. WITHOUT ME. Ribbons were won. WITHOUT ME. I was aided in surviving this tragedy by regular updates on the SSF Facebook page.
