    Welcome to RoaringGrrl.com! From July 2005 until August 2006, I wrote a monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) column for the Dillon Tribune, the weekly newspaper of Dillon, Montana. You may find a backlog of those original columns on this site under the category, Tribune Columns.
    My tenure with the newspaper came to an end because the column's subheading, "A newcomer's view of Dillon" was no longer true. Though anyone who was born and raised in Dillon would NEVER call me a local, I am technically not a newcomer to Dillon any more.
    BUT I still have A LOT to say about living as a single, white, female academic in Dillon, Montana!
    Therefore, I decided to continue my column via a different medium with fewer restrictions on the language I might use and the subjects I might cover.
    AND you can subscribe to this blog and receive my latest column as soon as I post it! Stay tuned!

P.S. The title of this website, "RoaringGrrl," is a play on the title of Thomas Dekker's 17th century drama, The Roaring Girl. The play features a woman, Moll, or the Roaring Girl, who won't be silenced by her husband, her friends, or her family. In short, Moll is one mouthy broad. I like her.
    I changed Roaring Girl to RoaringGrrl to avoid copyright infringement. And who doesn't want to be a "grrl" with bite, sass, and attitude?

      Beth-

      Love the webpage and the articles. You had me laughing so hard reading about your dating adventures and your trip to the fair I could barely stand it. Its so good to see you have found a new home in Montana. Somehow, your adventures there remind me of a quote from one of my favorite movies, "Hunt For The Red October":

      Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
      Captain Ramius: I suppose.
      Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?
      Captain Ramius: No papers, state to state.
      Capt. Vasili Borodin: Well then, in winter I will live in... Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives.
      Captain Ramius: Oh, at least.

      Well ok, being a vegetarian, you probably wouldnt be cooking up any bunnies and you certainly are not Capt. Vasili Borodins ideal woman (thank god!) but I envision he is just the type of man you run into each and every day there. My gawd I worry about you living there! Good Luck!

      I hear you are on your way to go visit Jelly in Vegas. Party! Somehow I envision the two of you having such a wonderful time that you will not be able to write about it in your blog. LOL

      You ROCK, keep writing all the funny things you experience there. I can't wait to read much more,
      Bill
