First day of school.

Note to self: next time I decide to go outside and do a photoshoot in the ruralest parts of rural Montana, bring mosquito spray!

In about 5 hours, I’m going to conduct my first photoshoot.

I’m resurrecting an old tag after almost 4 years (!!!)

Phoebe Bridgers dropped her new album “Lost Weekend” today, and I’m in love.

We can almost see the mountains again. in: notes tagged: montana nature

Last week, I planted marigolds and yesterday, the first sprouts emerged.

14 years ago today I hopped on a plane in California and moved to Montana.

Last night I lit a lone candle a bit over an hour before sunset.

I started my second season of coaching middle school basketball not too long ago, and Coach Reeve, our head coach, began writing these newsletters after each one of our games.

From last night’s football game: a beautiful double rainbow right before kickoff. in: notes tagged: coaching football montana

I changed the oil and filter on my Jeep Patriot today.

I wanted to take a photo of a rainbow peeking behind the mountains but by the time I grabbed my camera and got into position, the rainbow had disappeared.

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but last Friday, I helped coach my last track meet of the season, and the end came quick.

The other day, while at work, I went to go fill up my water bottle in the gym lobby.

My favorite end-of-year recap is back!

I helped coached my first set of middle school boys basketball games today, and I have to say, I had loads of fun!

Proud moment yesterday: at the district volleyball tournament, I brought my two cameras so I could take photos of our girls when a sixth grader asked me if she could use my camera to take photos, and I said sure.

If I manage to live as long as I am expected to live as an American male in the year 2024, then I have about 12,000 days left to live.

Stop it with the excuses.

The middle school boys basketball season began on Tuesday with only the head coach hired to help coach them.

From Tuesday, about an hour before our fourth game of the season.
