If you can’t tell by the variety of stories I’ve posted lately, my schedule’s been rather full.

It is an awesome blessing. It’s also nice that as I write, I can watch my 3-year-old daughter play – not many dads get that opportunity. Fortunately for us both, she goes to preschool three days a week; she needs that interaction with other children, and Daddy needs the time to work.

In addition to reading the stories I’ve been producing for the American Royal and the Cowboy Capital of the World Rodeo in Stephenville, Texas, which take place this weekend, I also put together stories for the Omaha World-Herald in its coverage of this weekend’s Justin Boots Championships. You can read the lead piece on those stories HERE, then just scour around the World-Herald’.

I’ve also been putting together stories for the Waller County Fair and Rodeo, scheduled for next week in Hempstead, Texas, and the Ram Prairie Circuit Finals Rodeo, set for Oct. 18-20 in Duncan, Okla. I’m about to get busy helping friends and other contract personnel with their promotional pieces to take to the PRCA convention in Las Vegas.

See why I’m so blessed? Not only do I have an abundant of opportunities, but I’ve got a ton of good friends and an awesome family.
