In 24 hours, I will be situated in the Thomas & Mack Center preparing for the first round of the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Today I secured my credentials and got the low down on the new media room, which is expanded considerably from recent years. Tonight is when the award winners are named at the annual banquet. I offer an early congratulations to all the winners. It’s been a busy day, from setting up TV coverage this morning to visiting with folks about Rodeo Media Relations. Now I’m going to celebrate with my lovely wife and a bunch of friends. This is my night to enjoy Las Vegas. Back to work tomorrow.
