I think we are going to have a lot of fun just "chatting" back and forth. After I posted on your wall, I read your bit about Secretariat. I am not much of a horse officianato, but have always admired their grace and beauty. As a kid one of my must haves nearly every week when my parents took us to the public library was to get a book from the Walter Farley series "The Black Stallion". I must have read those 10 times each and when the movie came out - LOVED it.

As a teen several of my friends had horses and we used to ride. I got caught up in the Derby fever each year and remember watching Secretariat just  - I don't know what word would you use to describe a elegant rocket? I will never EVER forget the way he commanded the race. When all the fervor was out about American Pharoh, my daughter was actually a bit interested. I played the Belmont race that Secretariat ran and my daughter was wowed - as I was yet again.

Again, fun to have another friends to talk to about whatevers....

PS:  Hope you had fun with new car and taxes...I'd already gifted my allotment last night, but zapped you a bunch. Will be doing so again today. Look for a giftie tonight.
