Have a wonderful time in Boston and I would love to see some pics, I hear Boston is a beautiful city.

Have you run into that arrogant woman at the stables again, yet? I think the suggestion of saying "well, bless your little heart!" next time she smarts off to you is the way to go. Be as condescending as possible.

I had a wonderful time in Boston, and I just got back this moment. I went with two other people, and one of them was sight seeing. She's never been to Boston, and she's orignially from Honduras. We went all over the place, and long story short, I have some really wonderful pics of the John Hancock tower, the boston gardens and the common, some pics of some really nice architecture because boston is a really old city, and and pics of Harvard as well.

It was Game Day, the Sox were playing the Toronto Bluejays, so everyone and their uncle and their dog, and their uncles uncles uncles dog once removed was in the city. Using the subway was literally like being sardines in a can. But we ended up going to fenway, I have some pics of that, and we ended up going to a sports bar right across the street and having some lunch and drinks while watching the game, which was really nice.

I haven't run into that arrogant woman, but I certainly am going to use that "bless your heart" comment if I get the chance. Being from the North, I'm pretty sure that she doesn't know that it can be a very nice snub disguised and a compliment. I love it.
I wonder if I'm going to see her for a while, considering her precious, 40,000 dollar horse (which she made DAMN sure that I knew) is shipped (with shipping wraps) to Virginia to go to the trainer's for the ump-teenth time. If I don't see her, it's no skin off my nose!
Tell me, if you were shipping your horse to Virginia from Mass, which is quite a haul, would you only wrap his front legs? And that's how she sent him! With shipping wraps on his front legs, and that's it. If I had sent him, I would have wrapped (all) of his legs, put fleece on his halter, so that it didn't rub him, and bubble wrap the rest of him. ;-)
