Dear loved ones, friends, and all you others. Pull up a chair. I shall now pontificate: I have been beaten but Ive never been a quitter, until recently. Everyone can be beaten but everyone need not be a quitter. As you know, my Paso Fino mare Sombra threw me about a month ago. She has thrown me many times. But the last time she threw me on the rock-hard dirt road a mile from my house. That time, for the first time, I was seriously hurt. I reasoned that since I am 61 years old and must work for a living, I would quit while I was still ahead. That decision hurt worse than the hard landing my beloved Sombra dealt me that day. I equate being a quitter with being a coward. And I have no respect for either. During my recovery period I have anguished over the whole damned thing. I analyzed the incident and concluded the reason I was thrown was my lack of knowledge, skill, and horsemanship. I determined to no longer be a quitter. I am studying Clinton Andersons great work Downunder Horsemanship. This book will be my bible until I have mastered the method and have brought my beloved horse Sombra under control. I feel renewed with bullheaded determination to see this through. I feel better about myself. For there is no dignity, no worth to a man, if he has no self respect. I am motivated. So now, I invite you to listen and observe the greatest musician and motivator who ever lived, Harry Nillson. Either myself, or my widow, will keep you updated. Thank you.
