Take A Break
Recently, I did something I rarely do – I took a vacation. Many times through my 20-plus-year career as a journalist, I’ve managed to take “working vacations,” where I kept working while visiting family in other states. One year, I went to Rillito Park, did a couple of interviews, took pictures and wrote an article while visiting my sister in Tucson, Arizona, during my Christmas “vacation.”
But last week was different. Last week, I took three days off work, boarded a plane and landed in another state with no work plans other than an occasional glance at my email to make sure a headline-grabbing story hadn’t hit the Western performance horse industry in my absence.
