A good friend of mine is trying to set up high speed internet access at her home. She lives out in the country, so her options are very limited.

I did something very difficult last night: I went to the Horsemasters meeting and talked about Isis’ death to a group of people who understand what it is like to lose a horse. I wanted to warn people about EPM and tell them that there is a new treatment available and that it made a…
I can’t believe I missed it tonight! My favorite show and I got caught up playing Oblivion. Time passes when you’re having fun? I did watch last week’s episode, ‘New Earth.’ I was surprised that several scenes had been clipped to insert commercials. It was pretty annoying to see how much was missing. Nothing you’d…
