I'm not one to go around talking about how hard my job is. After all, I get watch sports for a living. I get paid to go to games I'd probably go to anyway and talk to athletes and coaches about game plans and schemes and victories and losses, and most of those people I talk to about those things, I'd probably talk to about them with anyway. But once in a while I like to talk about how easy my job can be. And the Montana State University-Northern football team's 42-10 win over... Full story

The most contentious and most exhausting campaign in many years is about to end. The polls will close at 8 p.m. Tuesday, and the counting of ballots and making of excuses will begin. According to one study, Montana voters have been subjected to more television commercials in the Tester-Rehberg race than anywhere else in the country. On top of that, we have had fistfuls of mail every day for and against every candidate with pictures of our friends and neighbors running for office Photoshopped so they look like goofs or villain...

I've been a bit down in the dumps this last week, entertained by garbage mind. Well, maybe not crouched in the absolute bottom of the pit. More like I stood on the edge of the dump, toes hanging over, wondering if I should just go ahead, jump in and wallow around a bit. Maybe emerge sprinkled with coffee grounds, decorated with potato peels, a rotten cantaloupe shell for a hat. In the movie, Scarlet O'Hara said, "I'll think about it tomorrow." I decided I would think about it today. I generally don't get too upset when today...
When taking a young, green-broke horse out on his first big trail ride, the time for adventure is not now. Now, in fact, is the time for great success at modest tasks to lay a strong foundation for all adventures, and misadventures, of the future.
