Some may wonder why a 30 something father of two is spending what little spare time he has posting and writing short stories about pastel ponies. Well, I blame my children and especially my daughter's mini obsession with the music from Magical Mystery Cure. I had no choice but to listen and suddenly became smitten with a certain purple unicorn alicorn named Twilight. I was so taken by her that I watched season 1 and 2 back to back (yes back to back) over about two days and the rest, as they say, is brony.
