FACES SURROUNDING AHT

unusual depth, and I think readers respond to it. We’re all human. Nobody goes through life without some challenge and heartache, and you have to be impressed with those who overcome it. What do you like the best about writing for AHT? Easily, the connection with the people in the breed. How do you think your friends would describe you? Most would say I’m getting more eccentric (that’s the kindest way I can put it) with every passing year.
There’s not enough space to explain that, particularly as I’m still figuring it out myself. Is there anything you regret or wish that you could have a “do over” on? Realistically, just the standard “if I knew then what I know now” stuff. Could have done a lot of things better, but that wouldn’t have been me. I’ve always been a mix of very bright and very dim.
What is one of your “guilty pleasures”? I’m a Twitter freak. Not to tweet much, just to keep up with the breaking news in global racing and to follow a handful of really wise people (weird as it sounds, there are a few). My guilty pleasure is that I follow a hilarious barn cat named Gator Kitten. He makes me laugh.
What makes you happy? The same things that make everyone happy, such as good times with loved ones, world peace, etc. Autumn in Kentucky. Many different types of music; the right music can make you feel like you’re in heaven when the world around you is going to hell. Basically, the “when the stars align” stuff, which is my term for when everything comes together and works perfectly for something good. That makes me happy.
Do you have any life goals that you are still seeking? To get more in tune with the universe.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Wiser, I hope. Couldn’t hurt. n
