A Life - and a VERY Important Sandwich

I am happy to report that I have a small social life. In a matter of TWO days I attended THREE, count them, THREE social gatherings!!! Sunday, we went to an Obama volunteer meeting. There were some great people there and we also met a local politician - JP Pomnichowski. I signed up to volunteer so will be apart of my first political campaign and continued on my path of becoming a bonified tree-hugging hippie (says my repub friends). I'm really excited to learn more and actually be involved - Montana is 50/50 right now so how cool to work towards their efforts! After the meeting, we went over to admire our friends' new deck. Tyson provided a helpful hand during the month before wife and dog arrived on the building of said deck and it was really neat! Lander and John were lovely hosts and Moose got to play with his friend, Yacu.

Last night was the last event - I attended a training session for Eagle Mount Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center. Gina, the director, was awesome and I am really looking forward to volunteering there. I'm going to be involved in a hippotherapy class with little kidos who are very physically challenged. I am looking forward to meeting my new friend next Friday. I also will be on their "sub" list in case people can't make it or call in sick - which will be fun to meet the variety of people!
The last part of my posting will be devoted to one of Tyson's best friends in the whole wide world: Travis. If you know this fellow, you will know that he has VERY specific taste in foods. Some examples of this I have picked up throughout the years include:
~eating each item in a distinct order - you will NEVER catch Travis eating his burger and fries intermixed - it must be one before the other! Not even on Thanksgiving will you find Travis mixing his foods...
~strong distaste for mustard. His distaste for it goes so far as to eat around a mustard thumbprint found on his burger at Winsteads
~hatred for pickles - don't even put it on the plate NEAR his food. If pickle juice is soaking into fries, chips or bread - you can bet there might be something left on his typically clean plate!

Despite these oddities, Travis had a sandwich named after him at a local restaurant today. I am VERY proud to include photos of Travis with the sandwich description AND a photo of the actual sandwich. I don't think I've found a time Tyson has been more sad to miss out on something in KC, as going for The Travis Sandwich day today in KC. His work towards his sandwich brings me to ask myself and all of you - if there were a sandwich named after you, what would it consist of? Please post a comment including your response, as I am truly interested!!!
Travis - We think you have a winner in that sandwich and hope that it made the permanent menu!

Hi, Molly. Your mom sent me the link and I love reading your and Tyson's blog. It is an escape from my hectic day...I love the pictures, the wildlife log,and Tyson's political commentary! Good writing too! Your question as to what my sandwich would be made me think...definitely something with a wine-based mustard...thanks for letting me "drop in" even if you didn't know it. I am so jealous of your horseback opportunities! Carol Hailey

I never knew that about Travis...I'll make sure to send him a nice big jar of pickles from Costco.

I think my sandwich would be a breakfast sandwich with extra crispy bacon, eggs over medium(just so you can see a little mushy yolk), cheddar cheese, green peppers, and jalapenos on a buttered and toasted everything bagel. I would call it Pine's Breakfast Bonanza Especial.
