I know it's kind of old news now but I finally discovered Vine. I now have a new favorite smartphone app. I love everything about it. If you're not familiar, you can create and share easily edited 7 second video from your phone. Here is my first submission, staring my talented 15-month daughter (don't try this at home parents):
High atop Teton Valley is the perfect place for fine, live music! I can personally attest to that once again after returning from the 9th Annual Targhee Fest. There were artists I've seen before that once again did not disappoint, along with bands I had never heard of that absolutely amazed me (one in particular sent me running to the merchant tent immediately after the show to buy their music). All the details and photos here:
Yesterday and today are the only two days of the entire year when there are no professional or college sports being played. It's like the apocalypse for dudes. Ladies, the remote is yours. What will you make him watch?
I am loving a new establishment in downtown Bozeman by the name of Bagels, etc. If you haven't been in there yet, here's a couple reasons why you need to make a stop: Their bagel sandwiches are ridiculously good. All of their bagels are baked in a wood-fired oven, resulting in an undeniable, delicious difference. They offer a lot of other great food too, with lots of Montana-sourced ingredients. They have a full bar, with growler fills! You'll also find bottles of Rogue beer in-store. One interesting bottle that will stand out is Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale (hey, it's a bucket list item you might actually dig):
"Hope" was the official CrossFit Workout of the Day a few days ago. If you've got 17 minutes and access to a gym, I recommend this beast. I (barely) completed it last night and here's a few things you should know before trying it. 1.) It is not for someone who is new to CrossFit or isn't in decent shape and 2.) Even then, you better "hope" you can push yourself and still get through it.
I was on my big, noisy lawn mover the other night at around 9:00 pm when this thought dusked on me (see what I did there?)...Do any of my neighbors hate me right now?
Our weather here in southwest Montana had a brother feeling the blues a bit this morning. A good friend, or perhaps good karma, intervened at just the right time when showing up to see me at work with vinyl gifts of grandeur. My day has turned right around with the prospect of new music spinning over dinner later tonight at the Ledoux household.
My 13-month old is under the weather at the moment and it's kind of tearing at the old heart strings. It's just a tough age to see your little love not feeling well. She can't communicate how she's feeling, aside from moans and cries. What's a parent to do? Right now it seems like all I can do is administer ibuprofen and laughs. Any other suggestions would be helpful!
A co-worker arranged a "White Elephant" gift exchange this year at the office Christmas party. I'm pretty sure I took home the gold (see picture). Have you ever done a "White Elephant"? If so, what was the most awesome gift you gave and/or received?
I just wanted to say that our local firefighters are awesome. They proved that once again when I went to the Belgrade Fire Station yesterday for a car seat inspection. They couldn’t have been more thorough in this very important examination, or more courteous to myself, my wife and our baby.
Tis the season for commercials advertising "the hottest toys of the holiday season", so that kids can add them to their list and extend their parents seasonal nightmare of a scavenger hunt. It's also the season for nostalgia. Here's a few commercials that would have caught my eye as a kid...you know when toys were awesome!
November 7, 2012 I've had this Peace Lilly for at least 10 years and it used to be the (small) joy in my home life. Often it would bloom a few of it's wonderful white "flowers". However, it hasn't done so in at least 5 year....until now. I've got ONE.
