We arrived in Galveston by 7:30 PM.

"We're early. Show's at 8:30 PM".

"I haven't seen anyone yet".

"Oh, you will. Several cowboys are very determined to win. And I know that they're nice, country boys. They're full of passion for their sport; they're full of spirit".

Suddenly a middle aged man appeared.

He wore a tan hat, blue shirt, dark brown cowboy pants, and black  boots on his feet. On his left, middle hand, was a silver colored Rolex watch; on his right, middle finger, was a diamond wedding ring.

"Howdy!  I'm Mack Charles, the Owner of the Galveston Rodeo. I thought you'd come back Rod. Are you having another tilt at being a Rodeo Champion?", he asked.

"Yes, like the other four times".

"Well, it's good to see you here. And your name is Ma'am?".

"Marjorie. I'm Rod's friend. He's my neighbor near my Texas Ranch". She smiled at him. "That's good. Looks like you got a nice woman, Rod. Good luck. Show's in 22 minutes". He walked away from them, as Marjorie blushed...while Rod touched her left hand.

"It's fine Marjorie. He thinks I need to have a woman in my life".

"We'll take things slow...cowboy".

"Yes, Ma'am". He tipped his hat at her...and grinned.
