Cougar Fest

From Urbandictionary.com -
Cougar - A 35+ year old female who is on the "hunt" for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in San Francisco (or other cities)waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. "Man is cougar's number one prey"

My buddy J.H. didn't know this term prior to our Texas visit. We had to do our best to point them out to him so as he didn't come near the dangerous creature.

Here he is looking as sexy as ever.

Saturday night we attended the Cattlebarron's Ball. As posted previously my buddy J.E. is kind of a big deal at his place of employment and his company gave some serious cash to sponsor this cancer benefit so we had some primo seats and a good time.

One thing I learned, a dress and cowboy boots is a highly underrated look. Unfortunately I have no good pictures of this so you will just have to trust me.

So the ball went like this, show ticket and ID at driveway entrance to ranch, enter ranch through long driveway have car valeted. Register, proceed through photo booth, enter barn with musical entertainment, silent auction and most importantly open bar. Luckily I'm old now because in my 20's open bar was a recipe for disaster. I'm happy to report that I behaved myself (well relative to an open bar situation anyway).

Around 7:00 there was dinner. The smell of the bar-b-que was amazing, like burning hickory.
Around 10:00 the entertainment started. A show my Ronnie Milsap, the blind country singer with 40 number one hits. I didn't think I knew any of his songs until the show started. It was a pleasant surprise and since every seat was good it was probably the best seats I'll ever have at any concert.
Following the concert....the dancing. What do you get when you combine a once a year event, a babysitter for the kids, 5 hours of open bar, and dancing?

Be careful
