Guys On Ice @ BST
Vint Lavender, Jeff Boschee and Vincent Ray taking their bows and singing a song after having fun Friday night at the Billings Studio Theatre. The play was about love, life and death, the Packers, ice fishing, Leinenkugel beer, and friends, which seemed to cover most of what is important amongst at least some guys from [… Read More]
He Is Risen!
He Is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!
Easter Vigil @ St Pat’s
The beginning of the Great Easter Vigil at St Patrick’s Co-Cathedral with Bishop Michael Warfel presiding. Lots of baptisms and confirmations and eucharistic celebrations.
Spring Baseball in Billings
I got home to Billings just in time to see the Montana State University Billings baseball home opening weekend 10-11 April against Northwest Nazarene of Nampa Idaho. According to their very useful program, ($1), they have been playing since the middle of February at least on weekends, though some of those games look like they [… Read More]
“Why Waste Money on Psychotherapy When You Can Listen to Bach’s B minor Mass”
This is a quote from a contemporary American composer by the name of Michael Torke. I suppose he must regularly apologize to our friends of the psychiatric persuasion.

Here Comes Cabela’s
Things seem to be moving along at the S Billings Blvd exit off I90. They are supposed to open real soon. I’m betting on April or May. Watch that space.
Ash Wednesday
“Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.” “. . . rend your hearts, and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, . . .” “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.” “For our sake he made him to be [… Read More]
Art at the Symphony
This was a typical Billings Symphony concert: some familiar stuff like Bizet’s Carmen Suite #1 to warm us up and to whet our appetite for the upcoming Rimrock Opera production the last weekend in March, and then Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition after the intermission; contrasted with some unfamiliar stuff like Sprenkel’s Reflections on Titian’s [… Read More]
We All Need A Little Gentle Stimulation Now & Then
I saw this in the Gazette this morning. Almost snorted my juice through my nose. Sometimes it’s hard to believe there are actually people out there who think along the same line you do. The only problem, of course, is that yawning cavern of emptiness in the Rocky Mountain West. If anybody needs a little [… Read More]
