There are not too many things I enjoy more than watching college football on a beautiful fall day. I even love watching a game or three when it’s ten below outside, and the wind shakes the house. I’d pick a good college game over the NFL anytime. In my seven-plus years in Montana, I have thoroughly enjoyed starting to follow the Big Sky, and while I have picked a favorite between Montana State and Montana, I’ll keep that one to myself. I love that the two Montana teams can complete in an actual playoff. It is much more exciting than watching Al... Full story

The summer before my senior year of high school, I was 17 and thought I knew EVERYTHING. Looking back two-plus decades, I did not know much about ANYTHING. At the end of my junior year, I decided to get a job and the best option at the time was fast food. The job market was a little bit different than it was today, but you could always count on getting a fast food job, and I had already done my time at Wendy's with no intention of returning. I decided to apply at Taco Time, which was not only... Full story

Being an adult in the summer is far different from childhood innocence, where it was a magical time, often being outside from the early morning to when the streetlights came on. Instead of enjoying the weather and putting hundreds of miles on my bike, a successful summer day now includes keeping the house somewhat cool as the temperatures outside are near 100 degrees. I often look back at the summers as a kid with fond memories, including many amazing vacations. I was blessed to go on some great vacations, and, from time to time, I wish I... Full story
While the Voice hits newsstands on Wednesday, the paper is usually about 95 percent done by noon on Monday, so I generally start getting things together on Tuesday for the next edition. I generally like to have a column that is something lighthearted and can hopefully make a few people laugh or smile. This week I was having a rough time trying to think of something to write about, but the idea came to me when I was throwing away a morning protein shake in the kitchen trash can. After opening the lid, I had to stop things from falling out. This...

When I lived for a short time in the Front Range area of Colorado, I quickly found out the residents of the state have crazy love for locally grown peaches and green chili. It is not uncommon to see green chili put on burritos, burgers, omelets, and everything in between. I was no stranger to the dish, having worked at a restaurant specializing in it, and their version was so good I’d probably eat it on my shoe. I was always leery of making it, but anytime I heard someone had a recipe, I would pick their brain for ideas. On one occasion, I s...
