OK, it is now April 14th, 2008.  Time has stood still here for over a year and a half.  Quick update, I am working in Great Falls repairing cell phones but still live in Helena.  Yeah, the hour and 15 minute commute is long for Montanans standards, but I get to see so much along the way.  Last year I watched an Ospry family build a nest, raise a family and move on.  I had an antelope baby (fawn? calf?) run with me... he on his side of the fence and me on mine... as I drove down the highway.  I see Golden and Bald Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, and Osprys on a daily basis as they hunt along the Missouri river and over the plains neighboring the Rocky Mountain Front.  One week I saw some Mountain Goats up in the rocks.  Sure, there are the deer that may be in the road, but if you keep watch and slow down a little they can usually be avoided. 

I have been spending my free time seeing the sights in a new light by Geocaching ( www.geocaching.com ).   I have currently found 320 caches and have hid nine around Montana.  I'll write more about that at a later time.

 The grandson (Lucas James) is now one year old and as handsome as a boy can be!  Of course, I may be a bit biased.  Lucas does get to meet his grandpa for the first time this weekend when Harry moves back from Vegas.

I will try to not let this get so far behind in the future!--mm
