I can finally watch the Olympics in peace. There was a time, however, when I saw the winter games as a challenge. My first winter in Montana was 1976. I was living in Cooke City, didn’t have much money, and didn’t have any work.

My friend Steve and I had built a short downhill course on the slope above the...

Then college came and of course, I found a coffee shop in St. Louis that made a cup of coffee that changed my life. It was at a Starbucks around the same time that I learned about the French press or push down coffee. It is something that I...
