Dominion and Stewardship

For once, I am sorry to say, this topic does not inspire me. I asked my husband if he would like to write the blog and he too frowned and veered off into his Project Management lectures.

Sigh! Dominion takes me back to my history lessons—such and such a Raja conquered and made an area his dominion. Similarly, stewardships or regents ( a word that came in with the British) were also part of history lessons when a king died and his more efficient wife, who was anyway ruling the country from behind the lacey wall of the harem, was asked to run the state until her minor son could take over. In India, the woman was not supposed to be a ruler though there were exceptions. This situation led to a lot of poisoning, murder, mayhem and skulduggery.

Dominion is also a card game I hear, and available on the net as well…..not that I have ever played it!

Stewards also make an impact on horse racing stories, my fav being Dick Francis, Faye Kellerman and Joanna Campbell. They are villains or heroes and have a big role to play in the racing world.

“That’s all Folks” as Porky Pig says as a sign–off phrase at the end of each Looney Tune episode.
