It's been another great week here in Missoula and the sun is shining bright on this Monday afternoon. Nothing too earth shattering has been happening but here's a few highlights of what's been going on.
On Saturday we went out to the Big Sky Brewery (they are famous for making Moose Drool) to check out the place and sample their wares. It's really neat to hang out there and even though I'm not a beer fan, I tried their special Christmas brew. I have to say it wasn't bad at all. We visited with a few other folks sitting near us and it was definitely worth the trip.
A little over a week ago we went downtown to attend a thank you celebration for U.S. Senator elect Jon Tester. It was pretty well attended and after the festivities we had the opportunity to speak with Jon on disability issues. We are planning on keeping in close contact with Jon and his staff on the important issues affecting all Montanans with disabilities.
I've been also working on getting a new power chair and I met with the guy from the medical equipment place. There are so many decisions to make but I have a great team of people assisting me. Hopefully I'll have my new chair by sometime this spring.
Always seems like we are on the run and I've finally got all my holiday shopping done. We will be heading over to Helena on Sunday to stay overnight for a Monday meeting Dustin needs to attend.
That's all for now and I'll be back with another update very soon.

That is cool that you got to meet with Senator Tester. I was really happy when he won his tight election race. You should definitely take him and his staff up on their offer. Keep in touch with them on important disability issues. As you know so vividly, it is important that we have supports so we can live independently and have equal rights. So, keep on them!
Mom and Bec enjoyed your blog. The picture was a little frightening at first but then we realized you live in Montana!! Looking good with the beard and new hairdo. The backdrop of the mountains are absolutely beautiful. It is great that you got to meet the Senator. Hopefully you will make great strides for people with disabilities. Look'in good and take care. We kind of love you!!
Great photo of yourself and the snow. You have settled into Montana. I thank the Lord you are there, as you wanted, and you are fighting for those who have disabilities. I am glad you had another good week.
Hi Mark,
Looks like they are still keeping you pretty busy!! Where are you going for the Holidays?
Duane and I are spending it alone this year, don't want Doene and family out in the weather they are saying we should have.
Mark, WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MUCH MORE HAPPINESS IN 2007. IONE
