This is rodeo season and I've been in love with rodeos since I was a kid. I was the kid that ran around with a cap gun chasing bad guys in the back yard, too. Rodeo is a bit different though. What amazes me about the folks who compete in rodeo events in the arena is the dogged determination it takes. There is nothing about riding a Bronc that is easy, and the risk of broken bones is almost a guarantee. The reward monetarily is minimal unless you are awfully good and awfully lucky. It's sort of like writing novels in that regard. Maybe that's why I like it, it's something you do because you have to do it. That is the reward in and of itself. My favorite event is team roping and I laugh when I admit that. Do you see the parallel that I never saw until the moment I typed those words. My favorite writing is the team writing I do with Wendy. Maybe I'm a cowboy at heart...LOL
This weekend is the world's oldest rodeo in the town that invented it all, and it's held in Prescott and has been since the late 1800s. I'm gonna get my cowboy hat on and go watch!
