Let us ride together, Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Anonymous riding song.
Every once in a while the people come through! It's actually a bit surprising in some ways as most of the time I always think the more avid fans are chomping at the bit to have the anthem over and the game begun. Kind of nice to see a more patriotic and supportive side there.
Glad the little girl is getting a do over. She was doing a great job before the malfunction. I also like that fact that I didn't see any sign of upset on her part...although she may not have been able to hear (or not hear) the failure very well.
If I were a tree, I would be a London Plane. I am gregarious but enjoy solitude. I am English in my heart and soul, but still have room for other nations. I have lived in six countries and picked up a French husband along the way. We have a wonderful, kind, strong-minded daughter who has become a "Human of whom to be proud". I am a magnet for the lost. I foster collies (and collie cousins and the occasional, accidental, cat or crow). Those I have saved have saved me in return. I notice the world around me and often talk to strangers. Traveling alone is interesting, liberating and fulfilling. I am good at most things that I undertake but have few formal qualifications. I am able to have and treasure friends with whom I disagree about almost everything. My life is not over. Who knows where I am headed?
A ponyism is one of Life's Truths perceived from the perspective of an Effing Pony: - Life's a Bluff! - Those who aspire to make their mark on this world must expect to scrape some skin on the walls of experience. - The greatest value of money is as the currency of Hope.
- To be an Ass or an Asset, that is the question?
-Selective memory is but the first step on the path to magical thinking.
-Not all Baggage comes with wheels. -When your hero is a horse you are less likely to be disappointed than were he a human.
-Unfortunately, great wealth does not always equate with class.
-A dick, surrounded by puppies, remains a dick. -What better antidote to evil than kittens? -Any time you have something heavy, ready to drop, your cat will sit right below and look up at you.
Hopefully the sound person was not injured by a hockey mom.
ReplyDeleteSilliyak, she wouldn't have been able to see him through the tears in her eyes.

Heartwarming, indeed. Encore!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the nice side of human nature overwhelming the bad... true community spirit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a set of pipes!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing whatsoever that equals the sound of massed voices raised in song - and in this circumstance, very emotional.
Nice to see some kindness and support for a change.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeletePeople are generally very, very nice.
I've nothing to add. It was a good moment for all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful !
ReplyDeleteTrue community spirit there...
Now, can someone get that microphone shipped to Sarah Palin ?
Owen, Maybe it was the lipstick, that differentiates between pitbulls and hockey moms, that gummed up the microphone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great kid! I'm guessing Ms. Palin wasn't around? There are some I'd be inclined to hear less from.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this English Rider, it was an uplift to my morning! :)
ReplyDeleteOpposite of Kitty, what a great end to my day. Thanks for this!
