2004 -- It's Rodeo time!

This was a time for firsts. It was the first time the brothers were on time for an event. It was Gulam's ;) first time to a rodeo...and it was the first time the brothers almost got beaten up! The Poway Rodeo was home to big people, big bulls, big horses and even bigger barrels. Aram, having grown up in the Canadian prairies, thought this was a small time show ;) Gulam, however, was fascinated by all the activities as he plugged his nose trying to forget the smell. But this passed and he was able to enjoy the activities. We sat in the bleachers mesmorized by the cowboys and their abilities. And then Gulam, the klutz that he is, accidently (we still question this) knocked over a man's drink -- and he wasn't a small man! Now, Aram ;) was oblivious to this and wondered why Gulam ;) suddenly had become quiet and sat with his hands nicely folded in his lap -- this was very unlike his mischievious little brother. hmmm -- what's going on? As he turns his head, he sees a man giving him an enraged glare. The brothers finished watching the show and on the way home, Gulam ;) tells Aram about the incident -- now, it all made sense! Whew -- a close call and a great adventure!
