This is an incredibly inventive way of approaching the challenge. I’m saving these to go back and read all the links. You made me a bit sad with Barbaro, too. My third word was horse, and my own daughter was in the heat of her horse-passion that year – and we saw it happen. Tragic, and preventable.
Boldly Going Through the Alphabet!
