Dub’s Birthday at The Jesters

Kenny invited me to my old friend Dub’s Birthday party. (Side note: The three of us spent New Year’s together 10 years ago.) It was thrown at Jesters, an historic and notorious bar in Helena where Dub’s band often plays.

Hark, a Vagrant: History, Lit, Cats

Kate Beaton is a Canadian cartoonist who posts great hand drawn comics on her blog Hark, a Vagrant. The subject ranges from autobiography to American history and literary figures, but there is quite a bit of genre-bending.
One of my favorites:

Nordic Skiing at the Harriman

The Harriman Ranch is ideal for cross country skiing. There are miles and miles of (mostly) groomed trails for skiers to explore. There was no one to groom on New Years Day and over the night we got several inches of fresh powder but we went out any way. I’m glad we did.

No Sweat Brunch, MMX

IMG_6359IMG_6351

McKenzie suggested we cook No Sweat style breakfast for our shared meal. McK’s worked at the Sweat for a few years and can make anything on the menu. She bought ingredients for four different dishes—Stumbo, Toad, BLS, Counterpoint—and we offered or diners the choice.

I got to play waiter, serve coffee, make toast and bring orders back to Cookie. My other contribution was to lay out a quick menu before we left, but nothing compared to McKenzie’s skillet skill.
