Achieving More Firsts, & Friday Good Fortune

Friday the 13th has always been a good day for me. I remember, as a child, wondering why people were so afraid of it, especially since Friday the 13th was the day when my sister and I received our first horse. We named him Friday’s Luck, or Lucky for short. He was an obstinate little…

Hallowe’en!

Hallowe’en silliness because I can; because Goldie is both patient and a delight to work with; because it’s fun to dress up; because why not? :) My ATS bellydancing class was a blast this morning! On the way to class I heard Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Nightmare” and a version of “I Put A…
