America's Douchebag of Liberty has had a hell of a week. Fortunately, he has access to the same kind of medical care as Ted Kennedy, so hopefully he'll have a speedy recovery....
According to some, Missoula may well be on the verge. For the National Trust for Historic Preservation, I worked with long time friend and editor Margaret Foster, previously with National Geographic Magazine, on a story about how the Lolo Trail,...
If it matters, there really is a Santa Claus. NO Really. I expect he will ride in with the reindeer and save the atmosphere. I have noticed the flat earth crowd getting more shrill lately. The number of...
I have to admit, I don't get this story. Does anyone have more info? Promoting a local event -- especially when you're Jed Mescon (so promoting local events is what you do) -- doesn't seem like something you get...

No, it hasn’t been a month since I’ve worked out but it’s been close… And after today I’ve decided that ‘taking a break’ (from the extra workouts and diet not GJJ!) just isn’t worth it. Of course I...
I wish I could send chocolate to everyone but for now I have to pick names. I decided last week to pick two instead of one so both of my boys could participate. So... Jack picked... Amy G.! and Ian... picked Natalia! Yay!!! I'll...

I had a lackluster day at work today. Attitudes were crummy and I was ready to get home at 4!When Matthew came home we sacked out and I told him about my crappy day and he told me about his...
Time is a fickle creature and sometimes I don't like her one...little...bit.
She toys and she taunts at her leisure and her pace is hardly fair--she creeps along at a slug's pace when A Big Day approaches, but in the lives...
Today was great.
For the first time in 3 weeks, I had a normal production day at the studio. The electricity leaves a bit to be desired, but they are working on it and for the most part, it was up...

If you missed CNN's 4-hour documentary "Black In America" you missed out on some interesting journalism. Looking in blogosphere I've found that lots of blacks were not happy about it. Portions of it clearly demonstrated that being a black man is...
