Modern Day Cowboys at the NFR-Let’s BUCK!

There is something so romantic about the cowboy. Historically, and yes, now in modern times too. So maybe it isn’t as crazy as it first appears that I, a romance writer, decided to co-sponsor Makin’ 8, who is by now in Las Vegas setting up for live interviews with the real life cowboys competing over the next ten days in the NFR (National Finals Rodeo).

Don’t miss a moment because who knows what will happen or when. That’s the beauty of having a flexible schedule and bosses who consist of your fans. Tweets. Videos. Radio shows and live UStreams. From cardboard cowboys to spandex pants, ropers, riders and the buckle bunnies who love them, you’ll see and hear it all. Let’s Buck! And as Scott on Makin’ 8 likes to say, Get a Grip!

The one hour plus video of a lecture delivered by a little known professor at Carnegie Mellon University captured the nation’s attention. The video on YouTube now has over 10 million views. Why? Because Randy was dying of pancreatic cancer and that was literally his last lecture to his students. Even though by some strange coincidence that proves it is indeed a very small world I happen to be friends with Randy’s cousin who is a member of my Junior League, I watched Randy’s final months play out in the media just like everyone else. For once the media got it right; instead of just covering the lives and deaths of celebrities who don’t deserve the time we give to them, they devoted lots […]
