Well, probably true enough, and I did not see the interview and comments in question, but I'll tell you this: My wife and I, and a couple of friends of mine sat in our dining room just last night and laughed until there were tears in our eyes about the day my beloved Vesper died and the way it all happened when she was put down. Now, anyone who knows me will vouch for my affection and connection with this horse and I guarantee there was no laughter on the day she passed. But time tends to heal the wounds and creative people can usually find a humorous way to deal with the loss. Perhaps Kelsey Grammer is an ass or perhaps he has just found humor in a tragedy. Not up to me to judge. I think we tend to make snap judegements about celebs because they are "familiar" to us - but that is a far cry from knowing them or their passions or their sense of humor and how they deal with the private things in their lives. Next time you're up late, try turning the TV off and going out to the barn and sit and talk to your horse. :o) I do it all the time and I promise it'll be a more intelligent and thoroughly understandable conversation. :o) Scott =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
