things to do: Playing guitar. Driving really fast on the highway with the
stereo blasting.
Michael
was born in Denver and spent most of his childhood there. When he was
eleven, his parents divorced, Dad and him moved to Whitefish. Dad was a truck
driver and felt that Whitefish was a better place for Michael to be, because
Dad was often on the road.
Michael
never was overly active in school. Instead, Joe and him preferred to spend
their afternoons learning to play guitar. For his fourteenth birthday, Dad gave
him a Fender Strat. Joe and him started their first band the next day. They
called themselves Muck and they were terrible. Both of them grew their
hair out really long and carried their guitars everywhere.
Once
at a party, Michael fell asleep on the couch. Dad was en route to Idaho,
so he didn't have to worry about being home. There were a few others sleeping
there too, including Joe and a some other guys. The next morning, Michael woke
up to something licking his face. Thinking it was the host's dog, he shoved it
away with his hand and rolled over.
Then
he heard the scream.
Michael
turned around and came face to face with a brown bear. Someone had left the
patio doors open during the night. Smelling the potato chips and half empty
beer bottles, the animal came in for a visit.
Luckily
for Michael, the bear wasn't interested in sampling human. It grabbed a full
bag of Doritos's Cool Ranch chips and headed back out into the wilderness. For
the next several months, Michael earned the nickname "Bear Slapper."
I’d
like to thank Macmillan for sending me a copy of Rage Within to review and for organizing my stop on the tour.
