I’ve been lucky to work in many great newsrooms with fantastic co-workers. I’ve also had some jobs in journalism that were awful experiences. Whether I liked a past job or not, they have led me to what I’m doing now in Three Forks, and I am very thankful Melissa and I have the two local publications. Whenever I’m having a challenging day, I will try to think back to a time and place when I was working for a newspaper that was not a lot of fun, and much like the 1990s TV slogan for “TOYS R US,” it turns my frown upside down. One of the stories... Full story

7 is off to a great start in the kitchen, seeing I’ve gone over a month without dropping a pizza in the bottom of the oven. It has been nice enough that I could probably smoke something outside, but I recently signed up for Apple TV, so I have not been too interested in getting off the couch. With a new year, I’m sure there will be plenty of new recipes mixed in with the old traditional favorites. One of the favorites that will never fall out of the rotation is “loose meat sandwiches,” aka “tavern sandwiches.” I’m not from the Midwest, wher... Full story

When I first decided to move to Montana nearly eight years ago, I ended up staying for a few weeks at a hotel. I was very excited about my new adventure, but looking back, I did not enjoy my time at the motel. The hotel room was the type of dirty that housekeeping could not fix, the walls were thin enough that I could hear the people next door even if they were whispering, and I felt bad for my cat, who had no idea what to think of the situation. The room also didn’t have ESPN, which was just weird, especially when I was trying to watch an N... Full story
