"Bother," said Pooh as Rob replied to Meg Alfoni's message.
 MA> Well, if it isn't the Duttster!  What a flash from the past!
Yep... it's been a while, that's for sure.
 MA> Well, that's disgusting!  You must, at some time in your life, get
 MA> back to it!
I absolutely intend to... if I'm not yet so out of shape that I can never go
back.  ;-)  Nah, as soon as my life's in order and I have some free time,
I'm getting back into riding.  I miss it like crazy, and I'm already
dreading spending a lot of time relearning what I thought I knew...
 MA> Glad to hear it!  You always did have a certain special way of
 MA> expressing yourself (g).
And I wonder if Bob has ever forgiven me for it?  ;-)
 MA> Seems only appropriate to me that you'd head in the writing direction.
 MA> Good for you!  And glad to hear things are going so well!
Thanks... it's most enjoyable, actually.  I thought I'd be a little too
reserved for it, but i'm adapting nicely.
 MA> Can't remember where we left off...Thistle passed away two years ago
 MA> come spring.  Fiddle is now 5!  Sort of green broke..don't really
 MA> spend the time with her that I should.  She walks, trots, canters, but
 MA> nothing fancy mind you.
Sorry to hear about Thistle... I think Mike may have mentioned that to me
one time when we were talking.  And as for Fids, I'm sure she'll come along
just famously... as long as you keep the clicky thing out of her face.
 MA> Have a new horse...an Appy mare (9) called Shiloh whom I use for a
 MA> small riding program for at-risk girls.  She's a sweety, but shows the
 MA> occasional Appy 'tude!
Sounds like a good idea, the program that is.  And hey... what would an appy
be without an attitude?  
 MA> occasional Appy 'tude! Other than that...oh, yes,...the goats are
 MA> STILL with us and as enormous as always!  Looking pretty old and
 MA> decrepit, but they hang in there! I think we've broken some kind of
 MA> record for goat age!
WOO-HOO!  Bloated-goat-mania!!!!  Sorry... I just have a soft spot for
them... they're sooooo cute!
 MA> Do you see Mike Bull at all?  He's e-mailed me a couple of times, but
 MA> I never seem to get around to responding.  Bad Meg!
Every now and again.  He's going to University of Guelph in some sort of
bizarre System Management and Psychology program, and between that and his
wondrously successful relationship, along with being with St. John's
Ambulance and any other stuff I'm not aware of, he keeps pretty busy.
Okay... actually *I* keep "pretty busy".  Mike's insanely busy.  ;-)
 MA> Well, in a nutshell, that's it!  Hope you stick around..at least lurk
 MA> here once in a while.  And, I hope you get back to riding in the near
 MA> future. Glad things are going well for you!!  Keep up the good work!
Will do, or at least will try to do, on all counts.  ;-)
 MA> What's the website you do?  Care to give us the address?
The website *I* do?  I do a wrestling-related site of my own, but it's not
much.  Mostly, if you're interested, you can check out
http://sms.humberc.on.ca/etcetera.htm -- the home page for the Humber Et
Cetera, the newspaper I'm working for at school.  New edition out every
Thursday, and while this week's version has nothing from me (I'm such a
slacker!), next week's should have something, at least.  I can usually be
found under tech.
