Tuesday is the new Friday

Hey all,

Just got in from having dinner at a great restaurant called the Rock Bottom Brewery. Liw and I will both be gone this weekend so we were not going to have a chance to take in our traditional Friday night "end of the week" celebration.....so we did it tonight. It is officially our new favourite restaurant, Tuesdays is "pint" night and you get a free beer glass with a purchase of a beer....no problem. I'd like to add that they had the hockey game on....actually brought tears to my eyes.

This morning we travelled to Fort Collins to work on some Polo horses at the University. They are quite a bit different from the horses we usually work on and it was challenging to keep their attention. This afternoon we had another Quieting and Handling class. I'm absolutely loving this class. We have gone back to the basics of leading, handling and round pen work. Some of the techniques are different from what I've learned in the past, but I'm so glad to have a starting point to go from.

I've promised myself that I will actually do some homework tonight, so sorry, no pictures.

Here's a quote from one of Liw's T-Shirts that struck a chord with me.....and something that has always been a bit of my philosophy

"I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death"

Hey!
Who are you going to root for? Looks like it's going to be The Devila vs The Penguins..? Nothing exciting here, just tryingto figure out what the weather will be for this coming weekend and watch I should be packing. I'm giong to get my nails done tomorrow (gotta spa thingy for mom's day so I'm using it)...then we'll be heading out as soon as Christian is home from work, and Carson completes his Kumon. I'm hoping to get in to the Bay in time to watch Grey's...lol...I figure if I miss it at 9pm, I'm going to be up waiting for yuo so I'll catch it later. Remind me to tell you about my friend Lisa here...her brother & her own a bunch of rac horses in Peterborough and she was very interested when I told her what you're doing. Anywho...Kiss Kiss, Hug Hug :)

wow..amybird.....spa good for you..hope you enjoy totally. Supposed to be nice this w/e so pack light.
See Jessica we all know folks with horses...I guess the question is do they have a budget for massage therapy. Could masssage help a horse perform better at the track? I would bet on the one you gave a treatment to...he/she would just generally be happier.
