Just so you don't think that I'm the Wicked Witch of the West because of my flying monkey threats and all, today I want to say as much as I like to write nastygrams, my pen has another side.

Poison Pen Time
I am about to unleash my poison pen because I am FURIOUS. And when I'm feeling that way, nothing makes me feel better than unleashing my wrath in a scathing letter to the person in charge telling them exactly what happened. Actually, there is one thing that makes me feel even better than writing it.… Continue reading Poison Pen Time

An Airline Finally Gets It Right
Airlines are often maligned, and in most cases rightly so. Particularly when they charge you $25 to transport your bag (and then promptly lose it) not to mention extorting $9 from a starving, captive in-flight audience for a turkey sandwich. But today let us applaud one airline with a terrific idea that won't cost a… Continue reading An Airline Finally Gets It Right
Frights of Fashion

I Love Me Some (College) Basketball
It's March and just like in years past, my house will undergo an extreme transformation. Life as my family knows it will screech to a halt. There will be no food preparation except for heating frozen pizzas and microwave popcorn. Phone calls will not be returned. The television will be commandeered, the remote will be… Continue reading I Love Me Some (College) Basketball
Another Bozeman Story
Yesterday, March 5, marked the one year anniversary of a tragedy in downtown Bozeman. A little after 8 a.m. that morning, an explosion rocked Main Street in the block between Rouse and Bozeman. The blast from this natural gas explosion destroyed five businesses and sadly one woman, Tara Bowman, lost her life. And it shook… Continue reading Another Bozeman Story
