*The Old Laughing Lady by Neil Young. This is a classic poetic Neil Young song, full of meaning and beautiful. The best version of it I have heard can be found on the incredible Unplugged: Neil Young.
Sometimes, we can expect no more from a man than what he has given; this amount is often directly […]

Hi folks,
As usually, we have been busy. We went camping up in McCall, Idaho during the 4th of July weekend. I went to Las Vegas the next weekend with a friend whose husband is currently deployed. We had a good time. I learned to play blackjack at the tables in the Stratosphere. Almost lost all […]

Last night, I was reading Maggie to sleep. When I finished her last book, I looked at her to say goodnight. She was doing something very uncharacteristic for her—laying there, wide-eyed, silent, and not fidgeting. This caught my attention because, as I said, that is just not her, so I continued watching for the next […]

A couple weeks ago, my snowmobiling partner invited me to go with her to a free concert offered by a local Boise radio station, 1007.1 K-Hits. I agreed, though I did not know any of the musicians on the ticket. The reason for this probably had something to do with the band being […]

I made it back this afternoon! Jason and Maggie were waiting for me at the airport. When Maggie saw who I was she walked right up to me and gave me a big hug! We all got a bite to eat at Chili’s, drove home, and Jason passed out on the couch within seconds. It […]

I can’t say precisely why but I have become resolved over the last few years to not being ashamed to admit when I lack strength or ability. Well, the last 5 days have been ones wrought with displays of my personal weaknesses. As you know, Erin has been on a business trip in Oklahoma, leaving […]

It Ain’t Easy Being Me by Chris Knight. I don’t know when or where I discovered this guy but he is right up my current musical alley–incredibly poignant lyrics and that modern alt-country sound. Check out the video, especially if you have a high speed connection and/or read the lyrics.
These lyrics really match how I […]

Hi everyone who is still checking in on us! This has been an eventful week. On my birthday I accepted a full time position working for University of Oklahoma. I started Monday. I have my own office here in Idaho. It is a pretty cool position that, I think, is a good place for me […]

Well, I guess we have arrived. That’s right–we are now residents of ‘terrible twos’ land and boy, is the weather bad. Obviously, Maggie won’t actually be two years old for another few months but if there is any truth to the idea of the terrible twos, she sure is evidence of it.
Everything–and I mean EVERYTHING–is […]

Erin and Maggie have been visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Florida for the last 10 days or so; they return on Saturday. These (almost) 2 weeks have gone by very fast, helping me not feel too lonely. Hunting and work have kept me busy, mentally and physically. Plus, I was pretty sick all last week, […]
