Published September 24th, 2010 | My niece, who has a horse show tomorrow, has been riding horses for years. She’s been riding for almost ten years, I think. She’s seventeen now, almost eighteen.
Me, I’ve never been into horses. Rode a couple of ponies when I was very small and once rode an elephant (true story), but, unlike my niece, I’m not what you’d call an equestrian.
Equestrian . . . there’s an interesting word. The word is Latin in origin. Dates back to the first century of the Roman Republic if I remember my 9th grade World History correctly. Roman cavalry officers. Somewhere along the line the definition changed from a specific reference to a class of Roman aristocrat to a broader meaning — one who possesses the skill of horsemanship.
Zen Desktop
Published August 4th, 2010 | Check out this post over at Outside Context. You can read all the desktop computer reviews you want and won’t find anything as insightful with regards to the writer’s desktop. My desktop is a disorganized mess. “Zen and the writers desktop – 7 Steps to writers freedom” gave me some good ideas on how to clean-up and organize my old Dell PC to make it more writer-friendly.
