Been thinking about Montana a lot lately. My father's side of the family is from the big sky country. My great grandfather was a homesteader in Paradise Valley. Despite the promising name, there is a good reason why they were giving away that land: you couldn't grow enough food to make it through the winter. But thanks to a little side work on the newfangled railroad, my ancestors survived, although the land was lost - in good cowboy fashion - on a hand of poker. Tough life, or so the legend goes. I "lived" there briefly during my college years, but only through the good will of some real westerners. It's beautiful country, but it's cold. The people have to be tough. I, on the other hand, am clearly from the east ("the concrete jungle" as my grandfather would say) where you just have to be loud, and maybe a little pushy. That's a survival skill too, I guess, but it's different. Anyway, it seems like a few lucky (where 'lucky' means 'crazy') modern people are going to experience the real thing: frontier.
NICE, this is my version of the tree where we tell stories of our life w/ or w/o links....P.S. what are you doing tonight?? how bout a little poker??
you are recognized... im sure you all remember when df predicted/pitched a show like this after first seeing 1900 house. not surprising as df would make a fine tv programmer, although my other prediction of a wall street show has materialized and dematerialized as quickly as my portfolio. the $treet has been axed by fox. i thought it was a pretty decent show. jennifer connelly was my current celebrity fascination. i think she was in "requiem for a dream." didnt someone see that? lots of wind today. the chair on my roof bloweth over..."speak to us, oh god, as you brought order over chaos".... welcome to florida, the everglade state. ALL RISE! are there corrections to the journal???
Give 'em a bike, a library card, a chemetry set and put em all in Ted K's tar-paper shack. ....no soap! Then sit back and let the funk take over.
