Saddle Season

So we take the next step towards success as I humbly submit post 2 to you, the general public. From several of the blogs I've seen, it looks like it puts your most recent first. I guess I can kind of understand that, but with most of the personal diaries and journals that I've snooped through when visiting a friend's house, I usually try to start in the middle.

I really, really need to see "City Slickers", the 1991 classic starring Billy Crystal. You'll have to forgive me that there are a lot of movies that I'm still trying to get caught up on. Anything that came out before about '97 (or '99 really) is fair game for my parents to have censored and not allowed. Understandable house rules that I don't disagree with or complain about, but we're talking about some serious lag in some inside jokes and culture classics. Example: Goonies...still on the list of need-to-see. Yeah, that's right; I can hear your bottom jaw drop against your desk. Don't drool on the keyboard there, buddy. From watching VH1 and "I love the 80's" or 90's, I hear that there's a lot of excitement about two different Coreys...Feldman and somebody else. Must have been quite an era, but you'll have to excuse me because I was trying to get caught up on the latest Land Before Time sequel.

But the reason for my desire to see City Slickers is because that's the first thing out of people's mouths whenever I tell them about my vacation idea that I'm dying to live out. That's right. I think it would be incredible to go on a cattle drive! The price range can get up there, but it's not bad when you consider all that they pay for. Do yourself a favor and browse some of these sites (ranchweb.com has a great listing...you know you want to check it out). The scenery is amazing. Right now, I think a place in Wyoming called the Box R Ranch has the lead. Already have a couple of friends here who surprised me by saying that they'd definitely be interested. I want to do this so bad that I'd fly up alone to the one airport that they have in Wyoming just to experience it. You may laugh, but part of you wants it too.

Generally that's where my thoughts have been wondering over the last few days. I can ride a horse just fine, but may get a little practice between here and next June to make sure that I'm the best dude this side of the Mississippi. My cousin has a horse, and my friend's wife has some grandparents in Oklahoma that are dying for company and would let us ride their trusty steeds....but I still gotta see that movie.
