The Eternal City
Just over a year ago, I went on a trip to Rome with a few friends and can honestly say it is the most amazing city I have ever seen.

Rome Alone
No one finds themselves. That’s not why we travel. You’re right there, where you always were. But sometimes a foreign sun can show you to yourself in a different light, the veins of quartz that shine in the flashlight’s blue beam as we make our way through the cave. To see yourself through the eyes of a stranger, even for half a second, is to confront an enigma.

Fishing the Gallatin Montana
As a former term-limited Montana legislator who sat as Chairman of the Fish Wildlife & Parks committee and someone who has had the privilege of growing up here in Montana catching trout for over 50 years, I thought I might share some valuable information. In 2001 I sponsored HB 292 which became law and was signed by then Governor Judy Martz. It has always been my interest in seeing more people having access to Montana’s incredible blue ribbon trout streams and rivers. That is what HB 292 did and why it was called the Fishing Access Enhancement Program.

Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (11)
Since I’d fallen asleep so late last night, I did not get up this morning until 7:45, the latest of the entire trip. I showered and then found it to be raining outside. Heading to the office, they had no breakfast, but at least they had coffee (which was a relief since there was no coffee-maker in the room). I thus finished off the last of the dry food I’d brought for Firstmeal and opted to leave a bit earlier than planned, since I only had about a five-hour drive today and I wanted to consume more fattening, horrible shite from purveyors yet untested. I seemed to have missed my chance to try Chick-Fil-A, White Castle, Church’s Chicken, or Whattaburger, but another burger franchise still awaited. In Michigan City, Indiana, to be precise.

Fly with You Again? Hahaha!
When anyone embarks on any kind of journey, there is an expectation that the plan in one's head will, for most part, be completed. This expectation should be abandoned the moment you step from the optimistic certainty of the car, into the airport building.
