Life in the Country

I went to Baker City this weekend for a meeting. Since you all know where I work, you know this was not your average white collar convention at the Ramada.

We started off with a regular 'ol hodown at a family ranch.

The 10 year old kid was nice enough to show me around. I confided in him and told him my big secrect (I've never actually been on a ranch!) This was his 4-H cow. It was shy.


The next day I had to give a speech to this crowd:

I was really nervous. I'm supposed to be the expert and my first time on a ranch was the night before! I got some really good feedback, though, so I think I did okay!

I actually had a really good time and realized life on the ranch ain't so bad.
