 Posted: 04/23/03 - 15:38 Post subject: I just did another interview about Abby with
a newspaper near here that got wind of Abby's story from last weeks race.
She was doing a story on the NHRA (national hot race association) and the PBA (professional Bullriding Association) and their involvement with the Believe in Tomorrow foundation.
She was referred to me by the foundation, who told the reporter about this great story about Abby.
It was a nice interview.
I should be able to get a copy of the story next week so I can post it.

Yeah. I should've mentioned Akern's love of the rodeo that way I could've gotten a plug in for the Hangout"

A picture of that is a shoe-in for the Riff-Raff T-shirt if you do.

 I love watching bullriding. And the bullriders.
Colin says after watching bullriding for about 5 seconds--"Mom this has to be about the dumbest thing a human being can do". I reminded him his favorite sport has young men riding boards on thin little rails and falling on said rails
(on their  ). He remained silent.
