Reflections on a Gracious Life with philosopher Mike Odom: his friends called him Cowboy Mike.

This rebroadcast is in fond memory of Cowboy Mike who recently left this world. Occasionally, you meet someone you instantly know you can trust. Cowboy Mike was such a person. When I met him many years ago at a social gathering in Taos, I knew I could trust him. How did I know? It was how he listened, asked questions, and genuinely allowed himself to be curious about what I had to say. Most of all, Cowboy Mike had genuine, old-school manners. Over the years, I noticed that my manners improved for a few days when I spoke with Cowboy Mike at the grocery store, in a restaurant, or at a dinner party. If you knew Cowboy Mike, you might have had the same experience. Cowboy Mike loved life; he was interested in all things large and small. Many, many folks will miss him. Happy trails, Cowboy Mike.
