yours truly as a young and bewildered UConn student...

...circa 1993. This was the year UC Ringmaster won his second World Championship. I remember reading about him and thinking how cool it was that UConn bred such an amazing horse.

This photo appeared in the UConn newspaper, The Daily Campus. They had a roving interviewer/photographer asking random students what they thought of the UConn library's construction being halted. I said something like "Well, I don't feel safe with that big ol' building wrapped up in a Hefty bag. They should finish that job right quick."

They printed this part of my response, however:

"It makes me feel increasingly unsteady, nervous and insecure."

True. It did.

The library was in a Hefty bag, though. Why? Because bricks were falling off of it. Ouch. So, yeah. I was a tad anxious any time I got near it.

My time at UConn changed my life. I made lifelong friends, had great fun and learned much.

Proud to be a Husky!

(the library has since been fixed)

Break's over!

Okie dokie, back to work!

Rough edit is printed off and is in the hands of some experts for a fact-check.

Then, edit edit edit edit. Still on track for an early-summer publisher search. I am accepting any and all suggestions. My Horse, My Heart is my first book--so I am kinda new at this!

Oh, and my dinner date at the Altnaveigh is happening this week. I'll be sure to tell you all about it! *smile*

thank you...

...to my best friend, my life partner, my soulmate, my husband, Steve Scanlon.

and now, deep breaths...

I am taking a little break before moving on to the editing phase.

Today, I am getting reflexology and Papa Gino's pizza. In that order.

What the flip is reflexology? It's wonderful, is what it is. Google it.

Above is a wonderful compilation of some great Morgan stallions. Watch for early UConn herd stallions, Abbott and Canfield. Handsome guys.

Have a great day, everyone--and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
