In the Lion's Den Open Thread

This is Max . Many many years ago he ran a stable and a group of 20 something girls fresh out of school boarded their horses there. Fast forward to today . We’ve grown, we’ve lived our lives and today we are all still close friends . We’ve never let time nor silly differences get in our way or end our connection , even today’s disagreements are settled as to “What would Max think?”.

So one man, truly larger than life still influences lives led today. So if you think you don’t influence the future.. guess again. ( the horse is Buckwheat)
