Ernest Hemingway

God is messaging us in the waning days before our winter.

Silent on a warm autumn day.

The author was also an avid big-game hunter and fisherman.

Regardless of the opinions Idahoans have on people from California, if you're a movie fan, then there's no better tourist attraction than Los Angeles anywhere in the world. From the city's towering billboards to the production lots and the vibrant, intricate murals, LA just exudes movie magic.

As a fan of books and an author myself, I highly recommend you stop in, grab a cold one, and take in the ambiance.

Ernest Hemingway was an author known for some of his novels, short stories, and even a little poetry. Hemingway lived in Sun Valley for a little while but had several homes around the United States. I like to think of him as of of the coolest Idahoans ever.

Like many of you, my family and I braved the Idaho roadways over Memorial Day weekend, and drove 80 miles north to the city of Ketchum for a couple of days. I actually stood over the gravesite of one of the most famous writers the world has ever known on Memorial Day.

The flags were a nice touch this Memorial Day.

An event has been planned north of Twin Falls that will honor the publications of one of the most famous writers to have ever lived, and one of Idaho's most famous residents.

When "The Old Man and the Sea" hit theaters in 1958, Ernest Hemingway invited his close friend A.E. Hotchner to go see the movie with him. They didn't stay in the theater for long.

Many who come to Idaho visit Boise and Coeur d’Alene and then call it a job done.

I meet plenty of natives and newcomers who are continuously wowed by the variety around the state.

I don’t hear many Irish accents in Idaho.
