Many thanks to Gabby Sexton and the rest of the kids in the Seeley Lake Trailblazers 4-H Club for inviting my wife Patty and me up to Seeley Lake Saturday morning for the March Forth Against Cancer Walk.  The kids raised $400.00 f...

Lurid headline to prompt you to check out this cool thing we found on Mt. Sentinel.

Simple acts of kindness make the Buddy Walk mean a lot.

Growing up it always seemed weird to me that others, both kids and adults, felt uncomfortable around people with disabilities. But then, they weren't raised by Vera!

I don't know how many Country music listeners have heard Bruce Springsteen's recent release "We Take Care of Our Own". I do know that folks in Western Montana understand the concept. We've proven it time and time again. And it's time to prove it once more. For Josh's mom.

If you're any kind of a regular listener of Real Country 94.9 KYSS FM you've probably heard us playing Tyler Barham's "Coal In Your Stocking This Year".  It's my favorite new Christmas song.  No kidding.  Tyler grew up in Florence, now lives in Missoula, and travels frequently to Nashville to record.

I say, with no sense of embarrassment whatsoever, I know nothing about sports.  So, again with no sense of embarrassment, rather than pretend like I do and screw everything up here's the press release from Dave Guffey, UM's Associate Athletic Director explaining how to get out there and support the Griz Friday night.

It's Sunday morning.  My wife and I are standing on the south peak of Mt. Sentinel like we do most every Sunday morning.  Except this particular Sunday morning the wind is howling at about 3o mph and it's bead blasting my face with new snow.  And I'm loving it.
