Seven years ago, Melissa and I decided to buy a newspaper in Montana. I came up with my cat Peaches a few weeks before Melissa. When my parents arrived with Melissa and the girls, it literally looked like the Beverly Hillbillies had just moved into the quiet little neighborhood with couches and bedding hanging off the truck as they pulled into the driveway. It probably didn’t help matters much with the neighbors when a few days later, the cat got out, and I was running up and down the street screaming, “Peaches, where are you”? The neigh... Full story

Along with a slice of New York style pizza and a perfectly cooked piece of prime rib, Thanksgiving dinner has to be my favorite meal. While some people might not put in as much thought as I do about constructing the best plate possible on Thanksgiving, I think of it often, especially when I am hungry, which seems to be about every 20 minutes.

Owning a weekly newspaper makes it difficult to take a more extended vacation, and it has been years since I’ve taken more than three or four days off. I’m certainly not complaining because I have had a lot of jobs that I have hated, and I really enjoy what I do. Sometimes, I wish I could get a lovely two-week holiday where I get to spend a little time traveling and a lot of time sitting around at the house, not doing much of anything. When I think about where I would like to go, I always have Hawaii near the top of my list, which I hope wil... Full story
