Rodeo Dreams

I'm having rodeo dreams. Every night, we run another rodeo in my head. Every night, there are more issues to sort out, more difficulties to overcome, more scores to enter.

I'm a bit tired of it.

Rodeo time again

Just under 24 hours until the flags are in the arena again.

I'm looking forward to it, even though there's still a lot of work to do before that can happen. It's a special moment when the flags of the US, Canada and Australia are carried into the arena, as the crowd stands, hats in hands to show hono(u)r to their respective homelands. As the anthems echo off the red rocks of Gallup. As the contestants prepare to compete, the judges to judge, the timers to time.

It's rodeo time again.

They're baaa-aack...

Plans are being made. Cattle are restless. Geeks are in early demand. Hear the distant rumble of New Mexico rodeo in July?
