  • Wait…what just happened?

    I have to admit that I have been a bit distracted lately but how in the world did I miss the WCRA? I was on Facebook at the beginning of the month and picked up a live feed talking about the WCRA. I jumped on because earlier that week Bobby Mote said that he was…

  • Uncommon Heroes

    The last few months have been plagued with major life-altering disasters. Houston was hit with a more rain in a day than they usually get in a year. Needless to say people were displaced, lives lost, memories destroyed by the floods. Then Florida was hit. That nasty hurricane destroyed Key West and Puerto Rico. People…

  • Headed to Rodeo Houston 

    When I look at my bucket list, which I also call my retirement plans, Rodeo Houston is right up near the top. So when an opportunity to go to Houston presented itself and I grabbed it and decided to go to the stock show.

  • On being inspired…….

    Inspiration and goals are as personal as each of us is unique. You can make lots of assumptions about why people do what they do. Money, greed, taking care of one’s family, adrenaline, or just your passion. We see professional athletes earning tens of millions  of dollars and then see them behaving badly. Then we…

  • The Rodeo Gods Were Smiling On Me- Day 2

    Day 1 was behind me. After a great night’s sleep I woke up in the funnest city in America well rested and ready to hit the strip. I was still faced with trying to figure out where to go and when to be there. This was my first full day in Las Vegas. I started…

  • Las Vegas Part 1

    For the 3rd year in a row I went to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Each year has been a different experience. The first year I went last minute without a plan. The next year I ended up going solo. This year I had a plan. Out of the 5 days, I…

  • On Being a Fan in the Fight For Champions

    This week the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association instituted some changes in their Bylaws that will essentially end the memberships of many past and present world champions. World Champions like Luke Branquihno, Clay Tryan, Trevor Brazile, Jade Corkill, Tuf Cooper will not be allowed membership to the PRCA for the 2016 season because they have founding…

  • Bull Riding is Not Just for Boys

    There is no dream too big. We should all believe this, spread it to our children, and exemplify it ourselves. Every now and again I read something that reaffirms this mantra. While in Twitterland I met a young lady whose profile boasts that she wants to ride bulls in the PBR. Most certainly not something…

  • Dare To Be A Cowboy…..can you afford the dream

    Last year at the National Finals Rodeo I met  a great family. I had heard of their organization but what I did not realize is that the driving force behind Dare To Be A Cowboy was 17 year old Hannah-Beth Tems. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not impressed by disingenuous people. Over…
