I have a secret.....

are you ready for this....... I have always wanted to ride a bull. Get your mind out of the gutter. I mean a bull (like as in a cow). I grew up on a small farm in Addison, New York and we raised beef cattle. Most of the time we only had females but every now and then they would bring in a bull to stud. They are a fascinating animal. We never "got close" to the cows because we knew that eventually they would be on the supper table.

I remember several times, as a kid, thinking that I would try to ride the bull that we had. I would grab them by the horns thinking that I could just flip myself onto their back. I was a very daring kid my family used to call me Evil Knievel. I was also very dumb. I never made it on their back. Frankly the minute you grab the horns they shake you so bad you could never get on their back that way. What???? I was a kid!!

Because of this secret fantasy, I like watching "bull riders". The Super Bowl of Bull Riding is in Las Vegas, Nevada. The tickets to the Professional Bull Riders are a hot commodity. I would love to be able to attend this year but ... like everything else, things are on hold.
