father's day

As it turns out, our manly (slightly chubby) physique is the new hot trend. FINALLY, all those hours of drinking beer and eating sausage are paying off.

The band Alabama had 41 songs go to number one, including 21 in a row. Yet I feel that they are underrated. As is their Christmas song "Thistlehair The Christmas Bear". I was told that the city of Cody, Wyoming buys one-way bus tickets to Billings for homeless people...

Even though this is the first Father's Day for me without mine, like many of you, I will always be so grateful for his sacrifices and wisdom.

My daughter is in Drivers' Ed right now, so we've been going on a lot of drives with her behind the wheel. It has brought back so many memories of when I was learning to drive. Dad made sure I was competent behind the wheel.

Time is running out to get your Montana dad the perfect Father's Day gift.

From $11 to $285, we found five awesome Father's Day gifts that you can only get in Billings.

The meal includes hand carved roasted prime rib, tossed salad, roasted baby red potatoes, green beans almondine, dinner roll and dessert.

Here's a fun idea, how about ticket to The Magic City 4X4 Tough Truck Races on Saturday, June 27th? Dad will love the excitement of the races and the fresh air. The races are at the Big Sky Speedway at mile marker 16 on Highway 87 North.

My dad has taught me a lot over the years. He's still better than I am at pretty much all of it, but the basic "dad skill" I have, I owe to him. Apparently, these little things I take for granted are on the decline across the country.

With Father's Day coming up on Sunday, don't buy another neck tie for the man who brought you into this world. Take Dad out to one of these events this weekend:

Happy Fathers day to all you dads out there.  Remember, its never too late to become a good one. It will make a huge difference in your children's life no matter how old they are. Take down those barriers and start today you'll never regret it...

These days, we can always turn to the internet for advice on pretty much any topic, but for me there are somethings I still want to call my dad for. Sometimes, it's about the world and politics, but usually it's more along the lines of plumbing, electrical or cars. Those are three topics that he's well versed in. Sure, Google might have the info, but it will also have thousands of completely different answers for one question. It also doesn't call you back a couple of days later and say, "Hey...did you get your toilet fixed?"
