My sister Susan wanted to see a rodeo, what with all the advertisements about Denver's National Western Stock Show on the television lately, and so I purchased tickets online, and we attended one yesterday afternoon. After about an hour, Susan was asking herself why she ever wanted to see a rodeo in the first place, and so we left and went over to the building next door to look at the animals. The stadium where the rodeo was held was packed with people, and everyone seemed to be really enjoying it, to the extent that they weren't walking out of the place like we were. I told Susan what Ed, the former director of the University of Denver Bookstore, told me about the rodeo - "once is interesting, twice is a mistake," - and she is now a true believer. Perhaps everyone in attendance was seeing their first rodeo, and an entirely new crowd will show up next year. That would explain a lot.
