Non sequitor....

Growing up, I was a horse-mad kid. I have memories of Saturday afternoons watching horse racing on TV---in particularly during the years of Riva Ridge and the legendary Secretariat. (I wanted to marry Ron Turcotte, just to be there in the winner's circle, an adjunct to greatness.)

So today, out of equine nostalgia, I clicked on the headline, "Longshot Pulls Belmont Upset", and discovered that the horse in question is named Drosselmeyer, which set off yet another wave of nostalgia: SOMEONE is a fan of The Nutcracker ballet (in which Drosselmeyer is the toymaker), and which my brother took me to see the Christmas I was seven.

This has nothing in particular to do with anything, just another one of those amusing little zingers from The Universe.
