North Country Bear

Rapidly aging professional bear enjoying the good life in Vermont.

One of my Instagram friends posted a pit shot earlier today, and when I complimented him, he asked me for one. I think it came out fairly well, although it makes my chest and belly look entirely smooth, which they are not.

A smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz's in Montreal. I've wanted to have one for years, but this was the first time there wasn't an hour-plus wait for a seat. Montreal has it all over New York for both smoked meat and bagels--and this is coming from a native New Yorker, mind you.

I know to some of you that I follow it may not be that large of number of followers, but I can’t believe that over 500 would be interested in following this old man and I’m amazed that I have that many followers. 😊, with that being said here’s my contribution to #FCF

Heading out west to spend time with my amazing cub--my only regret is that I have to leave my wonderful, sweet bear behind for a short time. Having them both in my life is a constant reminder of how truly lucky I am.

A 20-ish friend of mine just referred to me as a "hot dad." Given that I'm well into middle age, I've tried to embrace the whole "dad" thing, but sometimes being reminded of it makes me feel old and in decline.
