Everyday when I wake up I should thank God, for not every man gets to live his dreams like I do. All I have ever wanted to do since I was a kid... I am doing it now. I know there are no real cowboys anymore, they died with the birth of concrete roads and barbed wire, but I am happy to live in their shadows. I have a few good horses and a good dog to spend my days with on the ranch. I have a wonderful wife to come home to at night who supports me and loves despite myself.  This is the life I want, free of material things and grounded to the earth. I know how lucky I am.

Long Days...

I've never understood why, but it always seems to me that the longest days of the year (daylight), seem to go the fastest.  May and June are two of my favorite months of the year, and they seem to go by faster than December and January, even though with the daylight the days are much shorter.
