It’s been a ride of a week.
Thursday, my rock band practice went well. Can’t believe I have been with the group for a couple of months now.

Friday, the kids had a good practice horse show.

I checked out some Superbike practices. This is what happens when a motorcycle crashes at nearly 200 mph:

Finally, I got a request for a partial from an agent last Wednesday. Squee! I will be sending it off soon.
