Dear Ben,

Hey there, kiddo! Just got wind of the email your mom sent you. Don’t let it ruffle your feathers too much.

You know how my older sister is – always thinking she’s the Cattle Queen of Montana! I swear, if there was a crown for that, she’d wear it to bed. But hey, her heart’s in the right place, even if she sometimes comes off as a bit of a snob.

Check out these photos from our family’s trips to the National Western Stock Show over the years. Man, you won’t believe some of the antics we got up to.

And about the Stock Show – I’ve got your back. I’ll make sure you get to do plenty of wild and crazy stuff. Why? Because I’m celebrating my D-I-V-O-R-C-E! That’s right, I’m officially a free man, and what better way to celebrate dumping a heifer than riding a filly?

So, chin up, Ben. We’re going to have a blast this year, just like the old days. I’ll make sure of it.

Yer Uncle Pete
