OUTDOOR BLISS -- I had the pleasure to celebrate my 34th wedding anniversary last weekend hiking with my wife, Meredith Heick, into the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana.

We saw elk hunters, grouse, wolf scat and were nearly run over by five spooked mule deer.

We sealed another great year of marriage with a homemade bag of gourmet GORP.

Cheers.
