Getting back to long form blogging is getting more challenging. I’ve found microblogging to be easier. A friend of mine politely pointed out my laziness. I guess two-sentence blogging is a little bit of cheap substitute for story telling. After eighteen months of writing on nearly a weekly basis, I have fallen off of the

The month of December is thankfully over. While nothing catastrophic happened, it did constitute a few more trials than usual. First, I was gone from the 3rd until the 14th for work. I work for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo occurs during this time of the year on Las Vegas. I was one of the lucky ones. I’m not involved in set-up or tear-down. I just show up, do my job and leave.
The dogs did assert squatters rights to my bed. Apparently during my absence, Avery, Elsa, Heidi and Anna Mae all slept in my room. Elsa and Avery haven’t quite adjusted to the fact I have reclaimed the bed. Heidi is still moaning and groaning when I shove her over.
My punishment for 12 days in Las Vegas was coming home with bronchitis and a sinus infection. I hardly ever get sick, especially sick enough to warrant going to the doctor. I was sent home from work three times in the week following the WNFR and finally gave up trying to be a dedicated employee.
Heidi had her complaints about the coughing too. When I woke up in the middle of the night, it was more moaning and shoving. After being cough free for about 21 days, everyone is sleeping quietly.
I am going to bore everyone with a few reprise articles over the next few days. They were good enough, two years ago, to make it into the Freedom Publishing content pool. I guess I felt pretty good about that at the time, considering I am not a professional writer. I really want to write an article on how much Valentine’s day bites, but do not want to be the wet blanket of the bunch. Most everyone I know will be at the Denver dog show 2/14. I can’t think of a better way to spend V-day then doing one of the things I love the most. I will be wearing gray and black though. Those days of the flaming red suit are over!
