With Memorial Day upon us, patriotism, heroism, courage, honor, and sacrifice have been at the forefront of my mind. My grandfather served in WWII, my uncles in Vietnam, two of my brothers in Desert Storm, and my only son is thinking about enlisting. Today is meant to honor all who have served and remember all who have died. Thank you for your service.

I got into watching televised horse races back in 2009 when Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby, and today a horse from my home state of Idaho, Rousing Sermon, is running in the 138th Kentucky Derby. He's 50:1 odds, but you can bet I'll be rooting for him! *Crown*

LOL I grew up LOVING horses. I always wanted one of my own, but growing up in Alaska the way I did it just wasn't feasible so I settled for reading about them. I even had sticker books full of all the famous horses (Man o' War was my favorite). It's awesome that you owned/brdr/bred them and wrote about them for an online mag. How cool is that! *Shock*

I was such a horse freak growing up. Man o' War was my fav as well. Derby Day ... i just can't decide ... Creative Cause is gorgeous and has the great name ... but Hansen is just as beautiful and is that an MM on his Mask??? Hmmm ... Just like my Mara McBain .... Could be fate. And yes .... before anyone asks ... I have a bad habit of picking horses because they're pretty. LOL

Wow, what a close race! I got all teary-eyed watching Mario cry upon his win. Great job, I'll Have Another. And yes, Mara, I believe that IS an MM! *Laugh*

You know how facebook gives you the option to receive text messages every time your favorite friends and/or message threads post something new? Wouldn't it be cool if WDC had that option? *Delight*

I think updates has taken the place of that for our favorite ones who have something to say. But getting news from everyone's posting and every message thread would be quite a job in a site this large if we are considering everyone here as a friend, which I do. I couldn't even get around to reading those. *Laugh*

Me either, Joy. *Laugh* Sometimes I'm unable to get online for days at a time. I was thinking more along the lines of announcements from the StoryMaster and/or StoryMistress for mods and above regarding such things as guest editor openings. You know ... purely selfish reasons. LOL

I like that idea lots... but you know how annoying it is when you're tagged in a photo and they're so many people you don't know commenting and you get irritated, that will be that way it'll work if there's a WDC text-me-all-their-comments.YA'H...LOL.
