A Nice Thing

Jerry Puffer — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:44:03 +0000

I’ll be up at the Marias Heritage Center this evening (Tuesday) at 6 o’clock, reading more “Montana History” & continuing with our current read, “Glacier From the Inside Out: Best stories from The Inside Trial” edited by Ray Djuff & Chris Morrison, a truly delightful presentation. “Montana History” reading at the Heritage Center is certainly [...]

Strange Complex Moving

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:18:39 +0000

It could well be an apt description of a typical afternoon on the Puffman Show, but in this case, it's how the new novel, "Sunday Girl" is described by The Literary Consultancy They write that this tome from Kalliope Lee that I'll be giving away this afternoon (Monday) at 4:30 on my Puffman Musical Trivia, is a "strange, complex & moving novel that's immensely readable & that authorKalliaope Lee has created a believable, mysterious world with moments of real dram & poignancy." "Sunday G

I'm Doing It Again

Jerry Puffer — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:45:13 +0000

I have ONE(!) copy left of the hardcover book on the Yankee Clipper, Joltin" Joe, that I'll be giving away tomorrow morning, Saturday, on "Puffman Sports Trivia" at 7:30. This is a cool presentation by Tom Clavin that just hit the major bookstores this week! "The DiMaggios: Three Brothers, Their Passion for Baseball, Their Pursuit of the American Dream" is a "home run" for sure! Simon & Garfunkel famously asked, "Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?" I've got the answer to that...i

Tuesday Night At The Heritage

Jerry Puffer — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:41:01 +0000

I'll be back up at the Marias Heritage Center this evening, Tuesday, reading more "Montana History" & I can't wait to get back into our current book, "Glacier From the Inside Out". We should be finishing up this great adventure in the next couple of weeks & I'm already hoping that it never ends! The stories in this tome from The Glacier Park Foundation are ALL 1st person accounts covering a century of park history as told by those who know glorious Glacier the best, the Insiders. They t

Winter Is A Winner

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 13 May 2013 20:28:14 +0000

We’re all invited to come CELEBRATE with Al this Wednesday at noon at the Shelby Senior Center. If you ask me, Al’s been on the “winning track” for quite [...]

Where Have U Gone Joe DiMaggio

Jerry Puffer — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:54:00 +0000

Simon & Garfunkel were wondering about that back in 1968. Well, for one thing, the man’s in a book! And not just the infamous “Yankee Clipper”, but also his 2 brothers to boot!. The new hardcover from HarperCollins Publishers is “The DiMaggios:Three Brothers, Their Passion for Baseball, Their Pursuit of the American Dream”. The author [...]

Riding The Rails

Jerry Puffer — Thu, 09 May 2013 16:33:36 +0000

THIS Saturday, May 11th, will mark the 5th annual National Train Day, a date chosen to mark the anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike out in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the 1st transcontinental railroad in the United States. The “Golden Spike”…that would be a good name for a bar(!), but that’s [...]

What Is Farmacology

Jerry Puffer — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:51:16 +0000

“Farmacology” is NOT the course Conrad area farmer Gary Gollehon majored in back in college! Rather it’s the title of the fascinating new hardcover book from Daphne Miller. “Farmoacology” doesn’t frighten me because I recently did a Puffman Blog on “Foodology”! Mller’s “Farmacology:What Innovative Family Farming Can Teach Us About Health & Healing” is hot [...]

Best Years Of My Life

Jerry Puffer — Wed, 08 May 2013 14:44:20 +0000

THIS Story Is True

Jerry Puffer — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:51:48 +0000

Publisher's Weekly says "This gripping account is proof that truth can be stranger--& far more disturbing--than fiction" & I agree. I'm currently reading John Glatt's "The Prince Of Paradise: The True Story of a Hotel Heir, His Seductive Wife, & a Ruthless Murder" & John will be joining me long distance live from New York City this afternoon (Friday) at 4:30 on the Puffman Show. The book's fro

Head Them Off At The Knees

Jerry Puffer — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:44:06 +0000

This morning, I received the latest precipitation report for the month of April from the Knees. Living here in the Golden Triangle & north central Montana, I don’t have to tell you where the Knees is! The Knees, not to be confused with the Big Arm over in the Flathead Valley. 1.3 inches of snow [...]

Jerry Puffer — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:10:22 +0000

It may be too windy to drive over to Glacier these days, but it's NOT too windy to drive up to the Marias Heritage Center this evening to read about Glacier! I'll be there at 6 tonight to read more "Montana History" as we continue reading our great Glacier Park book, "Glacier-From the Inside Out" (Best stories from The Inside Trail) edited by Ray Djuff & Chris Morrison.

He Died With His Boots On

Jerry Puffer — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:19:55 +0000

I'm not making reference to a recent remark from Montana senator Max Baucus. This pertains to my Sports Trivia contest tomorrow morning, Saturday, at 7:30 on the Puffman Show. It's going to be a baseball "trivia" question & the 1st person in at 434 5241 with the correct answer to my trivia question will WIN the new Matthew Dunn thriller, "Sling Shot"- It's a spycatcher novel about one of Europe's most accomplished assassins set loose after an unknown target & only CIA/M16 Intelligence Officer Will Cochrane can stop him in this action-packed, follow-up to "Sentinel".

Rarin' To Ride A Jammer

Jerry Puffer — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:52:54 +0000

I’m ready to take a road trip over to Glacier & ride one of those red jammers! I’m also ready to head up to the Marias Heritage Center this evening (Tuesday) to read more “Montana History” as we continue with our book, “Glacier From the Inside Out”. I have to tell you, the past couple [...]

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:02:11 +0000
