Gossip...

We had rain last night - I opened the windows in the house and let the refreshing breeze blow through it. Rosie and Remy sandwiched me in bed, and seemed quite content. We walked to the grocery store this morning, sticking to the sidewalks after the rain. It's very nice out at the moment. The kits are back home - and exploring the apartment like it's some place new to them. Of course, I haven't used Fabulosa to mop the floor before, so maybe it's that... I'll head home and let them out shortly.
Abby Toll, who was convicted of felony animal abuse, is out of jail after serving 20 of her 30 days. She still has to serve 3 years probation, and perform her public service duties. And thank goodness her probation includes not being with or near any animals! ... Charlie Sheen, who attacked his wife with a knife on Christmas morning, plead guilty to assault charges in Vail yesterday, and got off with spending 30 days in rehab in California. What a cop out! ... Homer Winslow is a handsome grey colt; he was an early favorite for this year's Derby, but had a stress fracture in February. Now, in August, he has a condylar fracture. Too much stress, too soon on bodies too young. He's not a stallion I'd breed to, when he's retired. ... The West Virginia Derby at Mountaineer Park is scheduled for this Saturday - at least six graded Stakes winners will be in the running, as well as a couple of graded Stakes-placed colts. This years' field looks good!
