Need a place to run to? Why not Steamboat Springs? Rodeo to hiking. They have it all. Besides, it's about balance. Too much writing (in my case) and not enough of hanging out isn't really advised.
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

Did Love Kill him?
"I like the taste of beer, its live, white lather, its brass bright depths, the sudden world through the wet brown walls of the glass, the tilted rush to the lips and the slow swallowing down to the lapping belly, the salt on the tongue, the foam on the corners." Dylan Thomas

Energy Crisis?
Can you imagine what the world would look like without Vetts and F150's? Does this make sense? I was told we need to fuel the economy to make the world go round. I'm thinking I'd drive this thing around before a Caddy . . . but we all have our opinions.

And to Think
I've been told over and over again that cops would never do what the police are doing in my books. Realistic Fiction coming right up. Readers of JusThis or Brand of Justice have already realized it is what it is. Here's one for ya to consider . . . The Bee Killer.
Love at First Sight
Strolled into a heard of Mountain Goats and was blowen away. I mean the picture says it all. We live in an awesome place I tell ya. What are you waiting for? The World is your acorn and you are the squirrel.

Takes a Mountain
So I'm involved with my version of an Alpine Climb. I mean you have to be all in to make it to the top. I actually scooted around mountain goats. Air is thin enough to cause nose bleeds. Ninety at the base and snow and cold on the peak. It dawns on me, upon my return to the real world, that I had taken one big break from the daily grind and loved it. Yes there is a difference from areas of influence and concerns. Find your mountain!

Old Friend
Got to hang around with this guy after rafting the Yellowstone. Heard he was a pretty good author. I visited the last place he called home, Elmira, last year. Any guesses where this encounter occurred?

Reading in Red Lodge
May be out of touch but am looking forward to a reading in none other than Red Lodge. Then it's time for a new addition to my family. Will post in a couple!
Integrity?
So Ted Goodman, claims Giuliani's most important asset, 'Integrity' can't be taken away. Man, he is right on the mark here . . . Giuliani never had any. It's stuff like this that makes the internet such a joy. How about seeing Clarence Thomas for what he is? I tell ya, when the going gets crazy, the nut jobs go to law school.
