Wild West Weekends

There's no doubt about it. I'm a cowboy wannabe. I prefer cowboy boots over sneakers. I prefer jeans (Wranglers) to dress pants. I've got a closet full of cool western shirts. I also have a nice collection of BIG belt buckles, although I don't wear too many of those.

I love western swing music and I even subscribe to Cowboys & Indians magazine.

I have 4 sets of steer horns mounted in my ranch house, which is located about 7 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. (Hey, I'm a Salt Water Cowboy!!!!)

I've got a living room full of big leather chairs and big leather ottomans. I even have a picture of John Wayne hanging on the wall by my front door.

Real cowboys would say I'm all hat and no cattle.

They may be right. My wife is almost as bad as I am. We have more pairs of boots that we'll ever wear. She has too much turquoise jewelry. Wait a second, you can never have too much jewelry. Especially turquoise.

My son, Tristan who is only 3 years old knows The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy and The Duke. I thinks it's way past time that I introduced him to "Rodeo".

Since Tristan was born, he's ridden more horses than I have. Yes, I am counting the ones outside the supermarket.

Of course, one thing that my son and I really enjoy is our Wild West Weekends. You could say it's our ...mane event. Sorry.

Now, you can have a WIld West Weekend too by tuning into AM 1240 WLSC or WLSCRadio.com on Saturday evenings.

At 9:00, rancher Hugh McClennan hosts The Spirit of the West.
