Differant Kind of Wally

Iain, my son, had the oppurtunity to ride a champion American Quarter Horse. David Avery the International Representive for the AQHA invited us to come and enjoy an afternoon with his horse.
Iain helped prepare the horse for the saddle, brushing the coat, putting on the saddle blanket. He stood next to David and learned the tips to cinch the saddle, tightening as the horse breathed. The stir-ups had to really be brought up for Iain's height.
Wally, just a nickname, is a champion Western Pleasure and Rodeo horse. He is a regular working horse too. He has such a great temperment and it was a great lesson for Iain to ride this horse. Even though Wally knew he had a new rider, he let Iain take control and ride the property at his leisure.

Seaside

Meet me in the waves so we can gently rock upon the sand and fall upon each other within the darkness of the deepest sea and give to the ocean her song of stillness Let us sway with her sea grass like a flag of beauty that she brings to battle For every mountain swallowed within her is but a grain of sand placed in an oyster shell Even the islands will be her gown upon our wedded bliss Her rains will come to the highlands and bear down fruit of many trees Though man will divert the rivers and dam the flows Oh the patience of the water will break down and erode every low place to deep canyons We will pool and calm the lake waters until it is clear like a crystal ball in our hands

Today is the day of the Revolution!

The carefully guarded legacy of the Beatles is to be unleashed again upon the world. It is truly another invasion in the form of a Revolution. The release of the third popular "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" allow players to mimic their favorite Beatles band member with "The Beatles: Rock Band." Forty-five Beatles tunes are featured in the game with instrumental parts, accompanied by animation sequences that will draw oohs and ahhs from fans. Fans choose a song and a member of the band, like, George Harrison's guitar line on "Day Tripper" and follow along as the animated Beatles perform. Fans will play their favorite songs through great venues such as the Cavern Club and Shea Stadium. Later sequences take place in Abbey Road studio and other interpretive fantasy environments inspired by song lyrics and themes. The seed was planted by son of George Harrision, the late Beatles guitarist, Dhani Harrison, who approached Harmonix with the idea. Ever...

What Heaven and Hell are like

A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, ' God , I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.' God led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. God said, 'You have seen Hell.' They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew ...
