and as usual tells me things at the last minute. She says, "Wish me luck at the rodeo tomorrow." She's does the barrels. I thought well I can go to this one, so I said "I'll do that in person, where and when?" She said "The barrels start at 9, but I probably won't race until 10."
So I got up this morning, took a shower, got dressed and went to see my daughter in the rodeo. It's about a 20 minute drive. When I got to the arena, the place was packed, it was about 8:50. I looked for my daughter or ex-wife, but couldn't find them. I called my daughters phone, but no answer. I figured she was saddling up 'Jet', her horse. I called the ex, no answer. Not surprising. So I just stood around waiting for the gates to open, and I noticed the crowd were a BUNCH of kids, lots of them holding football helmets. I start to get the feeling that something is amiss.
My phone rings and it's Brooke, she said "Did you call?" I said "Yeah, where are you?" She said "In bed." I asked "Weren't you supposed to do the rodeo this morning?" She laughed and said "No, dad, tonight." DOH!
I got home and my wife Debbie was up and asked where I had been, and I told her. She said "Nobody rodeo's in the morning." and laughed.
Information that would have been helpful before I set the damn alarm clock last night!
