I’m at a bit of a loss for words at the moment, so this will likely be a very short post.

The weather here has been quite cold … and today, it’s been raining most of the day. So I haven’t had a chance to get any photos of the progress on the WEG marathon obstacles. I have seen (from a distance), though, that “The Hedges” obstacle is growing. That’s the one  that was featured here a few weeks ago with its posts still going in the ground. It now appears to have all of its posts, and it’s gaining some rails as well. I’ll have more pictures of the progress as soon as the weather cooperates.

And we’re now less than a week out till the files for the January issue of The Carriage Journal are due to be shipped to the printer. That’s obviously where I’m focused at the moment, and why I’m at a loss for things to talk about here. But, if you’re a CAA member, here’s some of what you can look forward to in the upcoming issue: proper (and fun) turnout for sleighs, the story of a Williamsburg coachmaker, the next installment in our “Road to the WEG” series, portable wicker fenders, and much more.

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you may remember my post on “Lexington’s other passion” …  basketball. The Univ. of KY basketball is inching closer and closer to the mark of being the first team to record 2,000 wins. After last weekend’s phenomenal win against UNC, they now stand at 1,996 and counting. As I’ve said before, I know this isn’t horse- or driving-related, but it is most definitely a part of life in Lexington.
