I'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version, and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure.
I actually grew up playing the piano in the church and was deeply involved in music ministry.
We had a great many horses, of which we gave Lewis and Clark what they needed, and they gave us guns and tobacco in return.
