My latest piece is up over at New West.
My cure involves Nyquil, that syrupy sickbed absinthe. Amy shudders and gasps when she swallows it, and requires a chaser of chilled juice, but I find I quite like the taste and prefer to let it linger, so that I can savor its bouquet. Nyquil tastes [...]
Remember, the party is now at Missoula Notebook on NewWest.com:
I see it like this: if Montana weren’t the kind of state where avalanche risk can close highways, it also wouldn’t be the kind of state where my wife and I can drive an hour from our house and snowshoe around on top of a hundred [...]
I’ve lucked into an unusual opportunity: a semi-pro blog with the on-line publication New West. I’m really excited about this venue, as it gives me some of the cachet (and credential) of a column while I still retain control over what I cover and write about.

Sutton is on vacation this Sunday. Check back next week. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to read about a strange scene I once witnessed in Baltimore, or a trip A. and I took to New York City a little over a year ago. Or maybe you’d like to browse the essays for yourself.

I wrote one this morning but couldn’t get the internet to work. I’ll put it up this evening.
I’m not going to bring the laptop to Arizona, not least because I’ll be staying in a tent part of the time, so it’s unlikely I’ll get a chance to update much here while I’m out there.
This might also limit the exhaustiveness of my report when I get back, since it’s hard to catch up [...]
So that you don’t have to waste time scrolling down through my diary entries to get to the good stuff, I’ve decided to make A.’s Bird Camp reports a separate feature. This will also make it possible to read them all at once, by clicking on the “Bird Camp” category in the left sidebar. I’m [...]
