This Kid

This kid has a lot to do with out desire to return to the Yellowstone area. Know why? I made a 7 minute dvd slideshow of our trip for his first grade class and everyone was amazed.

He gets as excited about going back as we do.

Of course, spending one or two weeks surrounded by America's best fly fishing waters might have a little to do with my desire to return.

Except I think this time I'd skip Butte. And Pennsylvania, if it were possible. Guess that's what makes flying so attractive.

It Just Keeps Going

Well, this fun never stops. Here we are, it's December, and all the family seems to be able to think about is Montana. The road. The experience. The desire to do it all again. I don't know if that is going to happen in 2008, but the current thinking has us renting a cabin out near Yellowstone for a week or maybe two, and we fly out instead of driving.

We'll see.

I know that the Volvo is not going to be the car we take if we end up driving. That car's days are numbered, without a doubt. I can't believe I haven'd done something about it already, except that I cannot figure out what the hell to replace it with. Never have I been so uncertain about what kind of car to buy.

For more on that and just about anything else that's new, you could check out Existential Cheerleading, my new, everyday-type blog. I started it today and hope it'll be a continual sort of thing. At the same time, I think I am going to keep this blog rolling with an eye toward a return to Montana in 2008.
