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.

Indigenous Dinner
Just do it. Meet. Consider. Understand. This would be me off the grid. Thank You Alaskan Berg. Step out of your comfort zone and enjoy. Mutual Respect is what it's all about my friends.

No Bears
Hanging out in the icy waters of the Yellowstone. Many thanks for the "Killing Custer" book. Promise to have a look at it after the Breaks. From what I've learned, James Welch died to early. Great meeting Rabbi Ed Stafman. This is one Legislator, from Montana, who gets it. Great "The Many Faces of Freedom" speech. It hit hard. Grizzles haven't caught up to me yet which is a good thing according to Josh and Heather.

Montana Tom Minor
Will be looking for a Grizzly's Bear in the next week. Pumped. I'll make an attempt to post, but who knows, with where I'm headed there aren't a lot of bars on the phone.
