It’s a good time for a timeless book. Especially one that rhymes.
Longtime Aspenite and Emmy-winning broadcaster Greg Lewis had been working on a project for nearly seven years that fits that description. At the end of 2020, he self-published “Chasing Wonder,” an aquatic life lesson written in six-line rhyming stanzas that follows the journey of a lovable oyster named Wonder who has been thrown out of his bed (his oyster bed, that is).
“Chasing Wonder” defies categorization as it mixes elements of a children’s book with messages that resonate in an almost spiritual sense. Think Dr. Seuss meets the Dalai Lama. Taking place under the sea in a land called “Curiosity” (forgive me, for it is hard not to fall into the rhyming mode and mood of the tale) the book follows our little oyster friend as he meets and confronts the kinds of existential challenges that afflict us all.

After 47 years as a ski area owner, George Willett sold Showdown Montana to his daughter, Katie Boedecker, in September.
âIâm looking forward to Kate having a great experience here and continuing to enjoy what sheâs doing,â Willett said.
Boedecker could not be reached for comment. But during Willettâs ownership she has worked a variety of jobs at the Little Belt Mountains ski hill. These include director of marketing and advertising, prep work in the kitchen, busing tables, operating the ski lifts, teaching skiing and overseeing guest services. In 2001 she became the ski hillâs operations manager.
