WHAT'S FUN
of horses, Quarterhorses primarily, but also Appaloosa and Arabian.
Circumstances cause me to be temporarily without horses ...
so what do I do? I'm horsing around in my spare time!
I also like to do things at the family house at the Lake of the Ozarks.
It's a great place to get away from it all, on the water, and the boating is a riot.
Casual, but well equiped for either a gourmet meal or burgers on the grill,
and capable of handling a crowd, or cozy just for two.
Update as of 8/10/99. This fine property is up for sale ... as a new condominium for the family is being constructed nearby. If you would have any interest in a premier waterfront property situated deep in the cove at the 14.5 mile marker, Horseshoe Bend at the Lake of the Ozarks, MO, please contact Barbara Braznell @314-432-3693, or email her here.
Of course, there's always the old standbys for fun:
OK, sometimes when we indulge in "all of the above", we need to have a program to reduce the bulges.

Bruno - by Christopher Baldwin
This one may not be for everyone... it's a little bit gothic, existentialist, Gen-X, and even naughty, but Bruno and the ensemble are REAL people! You would not necessarily want Bruno to be your daughter, but you may recognize her as someone elses!
Helen: Sweetheart of the Internet - the geek's goddess!
The strip is about the "glamour" of the information age. The title character is a beautiful and brilliant computer geek named Helen Nichols, who at 24 runs the information systems department of a large company. Helen, her friends and co-workers inhabit an intense world where humor is as necessary as a good LAN.
