Today, I am trailering my horse over to my good friend, Julie's ranch. The weather is supposed to be nice this week, so we are going to spend the week trail riding and being outdoors with the horses. I am going to re-arange my schedule to accomodate hers. Julie and I have known eachother for 12 years now. My youngest is the same age as her only child. We met eachother on the race track. She drove a 911 turbo, and I had a BMW325i. Then I switched to a 911 Carrera so I too could experience Porsche handling. The I rolled the P car on the track - well - that is another story.............. So anyway, we both got involved with horses about the same time. She traded her house on the lake with all the water toys, for a ranch out in the country with horses, miniature horses, and chickens - and went through a couple of husbands on the way She has just filed for a divorce from the last one, and she seems to be feeling freer - ( ) imagine that ??!!! Anyway - Xena is going to spend the week at her place. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Hope it all goes well - keep your fingers crossed.................

Pelly Lindbergh, then-goalie for the Philadelphia Fliers, was there with some prominent members of, well, an Italian organization, along with 2 Playboyesque blonde women seated on either side of him hanging all over him. We were underaged and keeping a low profile, especially in light of him and his companions.
He appeared to lean forward and snort something on the table from time to time, and when he left, he was obviously kaboodled. The 'businessmen' attempted to discouragehim from driving bu t he was young and bullheaded. They, thankfully, convinced his dates not to ride with him.
He didn't make it a mile. He was doing an estimated 90 MPH around a curve known as (and, yeah, I bet every area has one) "Dead Man's Curve." He didn't make it.
Apparently, he could stop a hockey puck, but not a Porsche.
We, fortunately, left right about then but went the other way, despite home being that direction. We knew more cops hung out in that direction so we took the long way home and avoided both seeing it directly and getting in trouble for being underage at the bar in possession of beer in a motor vehicle.
Anyway, hope you (and Xena) have fun!
