July 6, 2008 Billings, MT
“Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head” (my apologies to the Beatles)….but that is precisely how the day started. Did some laundry and then met with Jim, a former student of mine whom I hadn’t seen in 25+ years. We had a great visit over breakfast and hopefully will keep in touch. As Jim was leaving my wife’s cousin, Bill, and his wife, Mavis, arrived from Powell, WY – a 90 minute drive away. We went out to lunch (food, AGAIN! It seems all I do these days is eat!). Another wonderful visit and now I’m sitting here trying to regain control of my blog.

Tomorrow is a short ride of 54 miles but we’ve learned that short rides usually mean a lot of climbing!
