Subject: My fifteen minutes of fame

The new cable TV network "Retired Living" is doing a story on our India trip. This morning my friend and I were to meet their crew at 9 at the barn and they would watch us saddle our horses and watch us ride and interview us.

They promised they'd only take "a few minutes of our time."

We got there at 9, saddled up, rode out, looked up the street we expected them to come down, rode around in circles, and eventually a car came. We thought it was the producer and the camera guy we were expecting.

It was the sound lady and the camera guy. We had to wait another 20 minutes for the producer to show up, and more while they unloaded many bags of equipment, wired us with microphones, and off we went.

They wached us ride, made us go back and do it again, then they trudged up the hill to the nice lookout point where we'd ride the long way around and they could watch us coming from a distance.

When we got to the lookout point we sat on our horses and admired the view of the ocean while they took more pictures And they asked us a bunch of questions. Then back to the road where they wanted to get "clop clop" pictures. Watching the horses' feet and listening to the sound effects.

They gave me an extra battery and memory card for my video camera so I can get pictures on the trip. When we get back they'll interview us again, and then we'll get to be on TV. If you're nice to me I'll tell you where to see us.
