the end

No entries. No scratches. The Monday/Tuesday tradition has ceased. Well, paused. The nine-month, 27-meet, 36-stop tour has come to a close. Aiken to Aiken. Until March.

Time to diversify. Time to regroup. Time to restock. Working on all three. And a long to-do list which had been shelved until after race season.

Go to the beach to see Mom and Dad, Sheila and most of the rest of the family for Thanksgiving. That’s first.

Get out hunting. Lemonade Thursday should be ready for me. I’m not sure I’m ready for him. But that’s on the list.

Mark the saplings and cut down the dead trees along the hedgerows. That’s on the list.

Balance the books, close out some accounts, capital calls for others, find the final partners in several new horses. And then look for more.

Christmas shopping. I guess that’s on the list. Way down the list.
