I haven’t even been lurking much. Work is crazy.

Cindy - I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. Losing a dear friend is never easy.

Not sure if this was discussed, but Saturday night on ABC there’s a movie about the life and tragic ending of Ruffian. It’s based on a book by William Nack, who is an outstanding writer. I won’t be able to watch because I’d be too busy bawling my eyes out.

Disney has also just purchased the rights to make his great Secretariat book into a movie in 2008. That is a movie I won’t miss. I may sob through the whole thing because for some bizzare reason that horse always brings me to tears. He was my hero when I was 10 and he was racing and he’s still my hero today.

Oh thanks for the heads up about the Ruffian movie. I will sure to watch it. I saw that fateful race. So tragic.
