This Saturday, Jack Kelly of IrishPennants.com offers us a story about love, purpose, the American dream, and courage. Thank you, Alexey Gvenetadze, for refusing to quit. Thank you, too, Elena, for understanding what matters.
In a similar vein, I have a story about an asthmatic Philadephia kid who never quit until he became what he most wanted to be... then one day, what he wanted changed in an instant. He, too, began on a new path in an foreign world - and succeeded. What does a racehorse named "Silky Sullivan" have to do with both stories? Read and find out.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
