It’s so good to be back. And even better to be able to eat real food again. While I was out on the trail at the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch with my son Ernie Jr. and the rest of his troop, our cuisine was pretty limited. In fact, one of the things that kept me

Sorry I wasn’t able to send out an email on Wednesday. Kathy told me that she filled in for me and sent you a funny video about cell phones. Well, it turns out 20 hours of non-stop rain in the remote wilderness along with heavy cloud cover before and after the deluge leads to a
