Summer Hiatus

July 11, 2005 - By 

Hi folks — all is well here at LivingSmall but blogging will be on a tiny hiatus due to the day job, the memoir, the screenplay, and the proposal I’m working up for a book on sustainable farming … too much other writing and I just can’t seem to find the time to keep up the blog for no.

But in the meantime you should all go over to the Montana Women For … website and check out the photos of nearly 70 Montana women marching in the Livingston Roundup Rodeo Parade dressed as Statues of Liberty and wearing banners proclaiming their support for causes as diverse as Peace, Social Justice, Women’s Rights, Education, Clean Air and Water, and much much more. They were the hit of the parade, and our favorite anecdote happened in front of the Owl Bar, where our friend Scott overheard one guy say something about “what are all those dykes doing in the parade.” A man standing near by whirled on him and said “Hey Buddy, that’s my wife out there. “

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
