birthday

Today would've been my dad's 78th birthday. Next month marks 3 years since his passing. No sad reflections today, just fond memories of the man who influenced my life and my choices more than any other person in the world. I quote him often and salute him every time I complete another new record run between here and Great Falls, or see an old car that I know that he knew a guy who had one just lik

Happy birthday to my dad, Howard Mushaben who turns 96 today. I've carried this picture in my wallet since 1973 when he was at United States Steel. His priest summed it up best during one of his sermons about forgiveness. He said that none of us are perfect, except for Howard...

Cat Country turns 30 years old this week. March 1st is the big day. Join us this week as we reminisce about the past 30 years and talk about the remaining 22 months. See ya tomorrow at 5.

So, today was a landmark day for me.  My oldest child, a beautiful, smart and funny girl,    turned her "Sweet 16"!  Holy moly I am getting old!

On Tuesday (June 12), Chris Young turns 27-years-old. “I’m getting old, man!” the singer said, laughing when Taste of Country asked him of his birthday plans. “That’s old! I’m almost 30! I’m just really going to take the day off.”

Kenny Chesney turned 44-years-old on Monday, but abstained from the sins that typically befall a man his age. Actually, come to think of it, he did what most middle-aged men in America do — work.
