I did a little flying this week, and I can only come to one conclusion; the airlines don't want us to check our bags. I can't imagine why, but there must be some top-secret reason that only airline industry insiders understand. There must be smart people behind big airline company desks that have decided it's in their best interest for you and me to carry it all on.
One of the little perks of my medical journey the past seven years has been colonoscopies. Lots of them. (Please try to contain your jealousy!) As the bumper sticker on my truck says, "What's up your butt? Get screened early & find out." It's important stuff. If you take something away from today it should be that there's no substitute for early cancer detection.
A good friend of mine is having a tumor removed today, and it brings back all kinds of memories for me. I wish he and his family the best of luck. My wife and I have walked many a mile in those shoes.
I heard someone complaining yesterday about how fast Bozeman is growing, and how it is losing it's small town appeal. (Which I don't agree with.) I mean it is growing, but it's still one of the best places on the planet. I'm not a Bozeman cheerleader, I'm a guy that just got back from a week in Minneapolis. It's easy to forget how good we have it here.
It's election time in Bozeman, and things are heating up. There are three things that I have on my list of "greatest innovations" of the 21st century. The Keurig single-cup coffee maker, the DVR, and the ability to vote by mail in Montana. (I'm enjoying a cup now. I voted yesterday. I don't have a DVR.)
