On campus today, I walked past a classroom where a group of students were working on a project together. One of them noted the assignment was due in a couple of days, and they needed to stop horsing around if they had any chance of completing their work. Me, I like to horse around from time to time. As fate would have it, both of my alma maters have had horses and horse statues on campus to give me just such a chance. During my master's program, the University of Tennessee Outdoor Sculpture Tour included the piece seen in the first photo below. It was taken on June 21, 1994. I have looked online and I can't find what the name of the piece was or what happened to it. The piece sat in the space between the College of Nursing Building and the Claxton Education Addition (subsequently renamed the Jane and David Bailey Education Complex) on the Knoxville campus. If you happen to know anything else about it, drop a note in the comments section. A few years later on a glorious spring day in March 1997, I stopped by the "Riding into the Sunset" statue of Will Rogers and his horse Soapsuds on the Texas Tech campus and horsed around there too. I still goof around like this, when time permits, and hence my wife's saying that she has only two sons yet three boys with which to contend.
