After 10 months of cogitating, Rodney’s show name is … drumroll … Rodney. Unexciting, but I have cause. Friday’s plan was to turn the mare out for her sunshine break. Bring her in, feed lunch early, find the old Coggin’s tests, and come to a final decision on The Name. Meanwhile, Hubby would leave workContinue reading “Contest Winner”

Sticks & Stones
At the end of last month, we attempted No Name-Calling Week. As I said in my announcement, Rodney doesn’t care in the slightest what words we use to address him. I expected NNCW to be an exercise in self-examination. Instead, it became an exercise in definition. What constitutes an insult? What if the words areContinue reading “Sticks & Stones”
Housekeeping Theory #1
In my house, I am overly tolerant of dust, dirt, and cobwebs. I cannot abide disorder, grease, or spills. Guess which you find in a barn & which you don’t. Thoughts?

Horse Shopping – The Mystification Continues
Called another seller on Friday. Found yet another person who couldn’t be bothered to talk to me. I do not understand the business model that allows people to reject possible customers so quickly. In her defense, we got off wrong-footed and she decided that her stock was too high-end for me. She might be right.Continue reading “Horse Shopping – The Mystification Continues”
Lessons From BrickFair
BrickFair was fun, but not as much last year. First off, I offered to be a Theme Leader. I stepped in at the last minute after the previous volunteer broke an important moving part just before the convention. I had no clue what I was doing, but the duties where easy enough to understand.
