In the past two months, I’ve traveled to Argentina and Key West. Both of these destinations were on a life’s top list I made when I was 12 years-old huddled in my warmest coat trying to make it through just … Continue reading
The post where I alienate 90% of my reader-base (9 readers out of a base of 10) by talking about fishing

This weekend we went to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and fly-fished with a great guide named Buckskin. We stayed in a nice motel in East Glacier that advertised air-conditioning as one of its amenities. I forget that air conditioning does not get … Continue reading
Montana, Finally
