My bro sent me some pics from long ago.
Family stuff, brings back dormant memories.

One of the pics was me sitting on a Shetland Pony.
That hoofed beast almost killed me!

Yeah, that's pudgy little TG. The fella behind me is my neighbor, Mr. Reese. They had the horses, and it was fun hanging around stables. The above pic is historic, because right after they let me take him for a short ride! Changed my life.

We were between our Houses, and Mr. Reese told me to kick him a little on the sides, like a "giddey-up." He giddied alright! He took off between the Houses, and into our back yard. He kept going faster, almost galloping, and I didn't know how to stop him! I was terrified!

He gets to the end of our back yard, where there's hedges and woods. He just stops. But I don't! I flew off that esquarian nightmare, and landed face first on the dry, unforgiving ground.

It bruised me up a bit. I never lost my love for horses, but I respect them a lot more! They're like dogs that can kick your butt whenever they want! :) I can't let this passage go by without referencing a song. This is "Mr. Would You Please Help My Pony," by WEEN. Warning: It's a sick song, but I find it funny. :)

Let's See, What Else...
Has everyone seen Iron Man, The Movie? I caught it yesterday. Some call it the best superhero movie yet, but I'd put Spiderman 2 and Hellboy above it. But still, a great movie! Here's a little secret: When you go to see it, stay through the credits at the end! After the screen goes black, they have an extra scene! And it's worth sticking around for. :)

And finally, House episode one of the two part finale. I wasn't as impressed as most everyone else. It was a good episode, I just didn't wee in my pants over it. It seemed Amber became a focal point too fast. Maybe it's to serve as a catalyst to advance House's relationship with Wilson, but to what end? I don't know, maybe part two will hold some answers. But I doubt it!
