Alright, would you like to know a secret about me? I have always wanted to be a cowgirl. I am not kidding. I had dreamed of growing up in the south on a ranch and wearing bluejeans and cool cowboy hats. Instead I grew up in Detroit. that has got to be as far from the ranch as one could get. Unless you count the Hoedown of course. I do not even mind the smell of the barns. Okay, maybe I do a little.

Another thing I have always been interested in is the rodeo. We do not have too many rodeos around these parts. But if I could score some NFR Tickets I may just need to make the trip to see the show. I mean is there anything cooler or crazier that a bunch of guys at the rodeo working on catching a bull? I am not sure that I would have the courage to go into a ring with a real live bull. Watching someone else do it is way more like my style.

I am not the only one in my family who likes these kinds of things. Richie has been practising with his lasso for months now. Who knows, maybe I will end up at the rodeo to watch him do some wrangling of his own.
