Hey Friends… A bunch of years ago I went backpacking with my friend Nate at this place called ‘Snowgrass Flat’ up in the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

Grateful Blog: Day 62: I was just talking to a friend a minute ago when I realized I had 11 minutes to get my blog done. That’s how it works sometimes. It reminded me of this time I was in Austin, dancing with a young lady at the Continental Club and while doing so she grabbed y hat off my …
Delivering in the Snow: The Newspaper Boy..
Grateful Blog: Day 61: Woke up to a layer of snow on theRose Citythat fell last night. Snow’s pretty silly here. Everyone goes crazy.

A Hug a Day keeps the…
Grateful Blog: Day 55: I went to bed sick. I woke up sicker. It shouldn’t surprise me; it’s that time of year you know. And besides, I was in the hospital on Tuesday, surrounded my germs and God knows what else. The thing is I ALWAYS seem to get sick when stress is the worst (who doesn’t?) and usually that …
Red Rubber Soul…
Grateful Blog: Day 53: Today was one of those crazy near-Spring days. The wind blew all night and all through the morning and the rain was followed by sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain…This morning I went to work, trusty old straw Stetson on my hat—keep the rain off you know, and the first thing that happened when …
