Crazy Saturday Morning Links

After a lot of treats (Oreos) for both horses and humans, everyone is beginning to behave here in Aiken.
Bonjour mes amis! I have returned from the land of crepes, berets, wine, and really skinny chicks. However, the snail-eaters did not manage to deplete my appetite, and my holiday festivities encompassed a few broken buttons. My horse enjoyed his break a little too much…and as you can see I have received a Christmas gift from one of my “artistic” cousins of my athletic beast and myself over one of our most challenging obstacles.

However, now I am writing you from sunny (ish?) Aiken South Carolina, where it is currently 12 degrees at night and 55 degrees in the day. I don’t know how I feel about this, but I can tell you with fresh clip jobs and ice in the shadows, I haven’t really been suntanning and sipping mai-tais. While my horses sit snugly in their lovely stalls under several cozy blankets, I have found (for less than a quarter of my horse’s board) a shack. In the woods. It has an outhouse, one propane heat source, and the ceiling seems to be leaking, but the landlord assures us that once the ice all melts, that constant dripping should stop. This, my friends, is dedication. With that, I give you your Saturday links:
