It's been a long time since I've felt anything but sadness for the wild horses. |

Rare is the new year that begins without me wondering how I took a wrong turn on the road of life and became a writer rather than a highly paid, universally respected, heaven-bound meatpacking executive. Of course it wasn't my fault; my farming... |
