I'm now inside of 100 days. I thought I'd be happy to be in double digits, but I keep remembering I'm not even halfway, yet it feels like I've been gone forever.
Anyway, I was typing an e-mail to Tiff and had to type horseback riding. Here's my question: Why do we call it horseBACK riding? Why not just horse riding?
I mean, there's really no other part of the horse we would ride, is there? Is it really necessary to qualify the statement with the word back.
After all, we don't call it bicycle SEAT riding, do we?
Seems like a waste to me.
98 days to go.

Clearly you're not familiar with the famous Turkish horseHEAD riders of the 15th Century. Their prowess on the Anotolyian plains contributed to the Fall of Constantinople.
