With Daylight Savings Time coming up (or to an end?) today, I'm glad my cell phone and computer automatically change to the right time. If they didn't, I'm pretty sure that I'd be early or late to everything for a day.
I didn't end up going tack shopping this weekend, but I plan on doing so next weekend. I didn't do anything fun for Halloween either. There really wasn't much that I could get into since I'm not quite 21 yet. If I was 21 I could get into a lot of events and have a more fun time here in DC. I also could join my co-workers when they hit happy hours after work. The downside to that is that I'd also spend a lot more money while I'm here, so either way it's somewhat of a lose-lose situation. There really aren't many under 21 people in the program since a college junior standing is needed to qualify, but I have met a few.
Tomorrow (or really today) I'm doing a volunteer project though Greater DC Cares to serve food to homeless women. There are so many homeless people in the city and also a great number of "feed the homeless" programs that it seems like the popular place for homeless people to travel/hitchhike to and hang out.
My yearling Flagmount's Trademark, or Mark/ pee-wee, measures at 15.2 currently and he's turning 19 months old tomorrow. I'm thinking and hoping this means that he'll finish out at 16.2hh, the maximum I'd like him to be. The fuzzy half-ton guy gets so pissed when he's the one left behind. Today Blitz went for a follow-up vet appointment for his hoof and I was told that Mark ran himself into a sweat while they were gone. Mark of course does no mind if he's the one to go places, it's just that he gets so jealous when he's not the center of attention. Oy! Just what I needed-- another redheaded horse with only child syndrome.

"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily
differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
