I was out for a run this week and was thinking about runners I admire. Kristina Trygstad-Saari tops my list. Maybe because she is local. Or maybe because she slays so hard and so humbly. I don’t get the sense that she has any interest in leveraging her talents for instagram fame. (“The lowest form …
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).
