Isn't he, though? My husband teases me about always cutting the heads of the jockeys off in my pictures, but I tell him they are never as good-looking as the horse, so why bother?

You got it, Steve, though I must say, I love screen names-- it's like one's own secret identity. Which brings up a funny anecdote from Saturday morning-- as I left for the track, I checked in with my husband, who was in our office, doing pre-production on a little educational short film we shot Sunday, and asked him, "Do I look okay? No one will think Genuine Risk is a complete weirdo?"
"You look fine," he said. "'Genuine Risk?'"
"That's my screen name." I said.
"Oh. Hey, that'd be a good name for a racehorse."
"What would be?"
"Genuine Risk."
"Honey, she won the Kentucky Derby in 1980."
"Oh."(pause) "Way to make me feel stupid."

Hee hee hee.
