As I sit here at my desk writing my weekly, it is raining cats and dogs, and for the first time in months, my heater kicked on. While I am not looking forward to using propane because filling the tank can devastate my budget, I look forward to the tradition of “Soup Sunday” at our home during the year’s colder months. It’s always quite a bit of fun to put together a soup on a cold Sunday between the plethora of NFL games we watch rooting on our favorite teams or hoping for a great day for our fantasy squad. Last week, Melissa and Shayla... Full story

While I was plenty excited my mom visited earlier this month; I was not as thrilled that I would have to make a stop at the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. The older I get, the list of things that drive me crazy seems more extended than a trip to the DMV. Near the top of the list is a visit to any airport. I wasn’t even flying the other day, but I knew that my blood would be boiling when I walked into the building. It turns out that I started to get irritated a few minutes before I arrived. I know nothing about engineering, but I don... Full story

It brought back memories of the last time they had a primetime spot on a “big three” network and a bus trip that never seemed to end. A few... Full story
