A few years ago one of my friends gave me these cowboy potholders as a (I believe) birthday present. I love them – and they stay on my kitchen wall having never been used for their nominal intended use. Instead they are beefcake I admire during pauses in cooking – a whimsical take on […] This is the first in a series of “GO WYO” license plates that adorned my cars – back when I lived in the States and when I owned cars. Follow up license plates were in Indiana, “The Crossroads of America” plate and the exceptionally ugly “www.IN.gov” plate that was issued later in my Indiana-time. […] My Wyoming Cowboys won their basketball game against #15 San Diego State last night. Given the scheduled game times, I tend to sleep through the vast majority of the games – February 16th is the most plausible game for me to watch/hear live, if it weren’t for the fact that I already have plans […]
It’s Thursday in Laramie, Wyoming, and I decided to go downtown to do a little shopping and a little coffee drinking – and while I could have driven downtown in, uh, give or take 5 minutes, I took the Gem City Grand Bus Route – which, between my hotel and downtown, makes […] Tuesday morning, before heading north, I went to a coffee shop in order to get caught up on my email—for while I might be on vacation, some aspects of work need somewhat regular attention.

Munich Cowboys / via Cowboy Altitude […] I went to see a rodeo at the National Western Stock Show with a friend my first day in Denver. At its heart, Denver has a longstanding struggle over what best represents the city. On the one hand there are the gleaming skyscrapers and its reliance on the telecommunications and cable industry, and, on the […]

(click on image to see it in its full size) […] The stereotypical Cowboy in Wyoming is, by inherent definition, the definition of hyper-masculinity. Accordingly, these men never, ever cry. Not once, ever, never. Well… maybe every once in awhile—but rarely. These are the guys who grew up on a ranch and would come to the university only to be stunned by the overwhelming selection of […] One of the great American Myths is the Cowboy Myth. And, at times, I fall for it, hook, line, and sinker. Even though I am a flaming liberal, after six years in Wyoming, I came to appreciate the Cowboy Ideal.
