Sometimes when I go running in Bozeman I notice all of the houses, the old ones and the new ones. I love town running at night, guiltily, for the possibility of viewing the lit spectacles of other people’s lives as I race past. I’ll sometimes see a great big brand new box house with vaulted …
Tonight I went to Dave’s Sushi with my husband and daughter. We went back and forth about Dave’s versus Hooked, but landed on Dave’s because they have better kid options for Inge (and by that I mean, simply, mango).

Goals for the year: Lead a gym 11- I realize this isn’t this most profound accomplishment in a gym, but I can be a puss leader and just needed to get over the hump to try. Did it on the first go. (And many times subsequently). Interestingly my top rope grade is my lead grade …
