01.07.24 snippet from 09.01.17 Flathead Beacon article… In 1911, the Great Northern established a tent camp just below the Sperry Glacier, named after Lyman Sperry, a geology professor from Minnesota who first reached it in 1896. The following year, the railroad hired a group of Italian stonemasons to build a 22-by-80-foot kitchen and dining hall at the site utilizing local rocks. The kitchen opened in time for the 1913 season.
With the kitchen open, builders turned their attention to constructing a two-story dormitory that would become the heart of the Sperry Chalet complex. Kirkland Cutter, a well-known Pacific Northwest architect who crafted the Lake McDonald Lodge and the Conrad Mansion in Kalispell, designed the building. The 32-by-90 chalet was capable of hosting 152 guests. It opened in 1914.

Fear is the main reason creative ideas rot on the vine.

Same idea, different website…while walking last night, i used the WordPress Admin dashboard and Siri to dictate the following note to myself directly in WordPress. Here it is, unedited…
Trying to squeeze in a 4 mile walk, technically a 6 mile walk probably only 4 miles, before visitors arrive from North Florida and then out to dinner.
and the point of telling you that is to tell you this, I’m thinking about my friend, Jody Maberry, and his offer to do a one or two or three minute podcast with August who is a freshman in college.
and I asked Siri to play some music I might like, and about a mile and a half into this walk Tim McGraw song comes on that made me think of another Tim McGraw song
humble and kind
One of my favorite Tim McGraw songs, possibly one of my favorite songs of all time by the way, my favorite Tim McGraw song is don’t take the girl.
and I’ve been unintentionally tardy on fulfilling Jody’s request… And then I thought just now as I’m walking, what if I just sent him the link to humble and kind with a little one or two sentence intro to August, and that would count as my Podcast fulfillment?
Artful stardust, self-indulgent, or something else?
