Champion with Friends (and Relatives)

May 24, 2026

A few weeks ago, I went to the Penn Relays, and this weekend, I went to the Devon Horse Show.

For the Penn Relays, I went on Friday and Saturday, and had to see Marie-Éloïse.

For the Devon Horse Show, I went on Thursday for the day, but left before the evening event. Friday, I spent the whole day. Got to see my cousin Jimmy Torano, his wife, Danielle, and their son, JJ.
