Off to the Ranch

Dara, Kyla, and I are leaving early tomorrow morning for Greenhorn Creek guest ranch. No phones in the rooms, no cell phones, and no Internet connectivity. Garrett is following on Monday with his friend Aisha. The usual routine is a couple rides a day using a horse that stays with you for the week (unless you improve and "move up"). Meals are all family style, and the nightly entertainment varies from frog racing to line or square dancing and other corny things. You can walk across the fish in the stocked pond. Dara claims she will keep me company some. I'll try not to snag her. It will be interesting to see how Kyla the polo pro will do in a western saddle, and how much guff she gets when the wranglers learn she plays polo. I'm just hoping to avoid spraining my ass again. We're pretty well stocked up on books, as usual. Dara will be trying to tackle the new Harry Potter, since both Garrett and Kyla have finished it.

I'm counting on you guys to keep up the blogging.
