Equus (BTW I Would Pay Big, Big Money to See Johnny in That Role...)

We interrupt our ongoing Festival of Slurs and Slores to bring you rainbows and roses and horses and Johnny, who was a champion equestrian before he began skating at age 11, and who is attending the Kentucky Derby this weekend. Which I am hoping involves the most glorious mad hattery-ness ever seen, and an outfit that simply defies description but in which he will, of course, LOOK AMAZING. I am dying here waiting for photos, but for now, let these suffice:

For more on young Johnny's equestrian career,

please see the beautifully written and illustrated children's book,

Flying Over the Ice, by Sarah Brannen.

The horseman doth linger inside the skater...

Coming Monday (maybe. Unless I feel like I'm just beating a dead mongoose. Which actually would give me great pleasure, so I'll probably go for it): Ending the Slore Wars. And possibly some gentle tips on how to prevent them from ever happening in the first place...
