Yesterday was one of two scheduled days off at the course for the week. Tom Malloy, the owner of the Elkhorn Cafe has been chatting with me about coming to work for him when possible. We had eaten there and the Elkhorn probably has the best food in town. Being off for the day, I [...]
[ad] Brutus went for a haircut today. No, there is not a groomer in this small historic town of Medora but just twenty miles west lies the hamlet of Beach. I refer to these places as such due to their one small grocery, a flock of houses, and the local filling station. Bordering mammoth Montana, [...]
This kitchen is the underlying reason for more hubbub and innuendo than you can imagine. Yes, it’s stark and naked counters seem to warrant far less speculation. It’s devoid of human life, of the hustle and bustle that a chef would command in the pre-evening hours of dining. This den of stainless steel is the [...]
Rains came this afternoon in an increasing pulse. By three-thirty the course was sans golfers. Since there was no need for our services, Kathy asked if we would like to leave early. Surely, we would have no problem with that. In fact, our work for Memorial Day was cancelled as well as heavy winds, rain, [...]

[ad] There is a major down side to the full time RVing life. I have an unusually strong attachment to my children. Perhaps it’s no different than yours but in my mind’s eye, intense as I see it. So having them so far away and not being able to drive down to see them brings [...]
For you readers out there that are not golfers, this slideshow will not top your Oscar list but the process here is fascinating. After watching this you will be a learned and extremely knowledgable individual. You will be esteemed in your social circles and your conversations will be held in awe by the masses. [...]
Today we hosted a tournament on the course. Whenever this happens my day actually gets easier if you can believe this. Instead of sending a group of golfers out on #1 and then determining when the next group can go and so forth, teams start the tournament at each hole on the course. Therefore, there [...]
[ad] The weather here surprises me daily. Just when I think summer is around the bend, the bend throws me a curve. Beautiful and sunny turned to overcast and quite windy at a moment’s notice. Not much action at the golf course so I spent some of the day moving fences and ropes for traffic [...]
