Where, oh where have I been?

In case anyone has been wondering, where Oh where has Red Shoe Writer been? I just have to say I've been away.
Not away from my computer - not at all
Not even away from my desk - nope

I've been aWAY too busy to blog!

My job requires me to write - usually at least once a day. But recently I've been learning a whole bunch about rodeos. We have one coming to town and I've been brushing up on what I know about bull riding, barrel racing and what is now known as tie-down roping. (the politically correct term for calf-roping)
I remember attending the annual rodeo when I was a kid. I kinda liked to think of myself as being some sort of cowboy - yep, cowboy. I had the hat, two six-shooters, boots and a bandana around my neck. Not a sissy cowgirl, a real cowboy. I never could make my way up on a horse, though. In the end, it seemed I liked the outfit better than anything else about being a cowboy.
Guess I was more girly than I thought......
