Almost done

Well, I’m almost done with my hunter’s safety class. It has indeed been a very long week; I look at Erin and Maggie and they feel like strangers because I basically haven’t seen them all week. I don’t know what I would do if I had to work a second job at night. It would […]

*”Six-Year Drought” by James McMurtry. This guy is very quickly becoming my new favorite singer-songwriter. His voice, lyrics, everything–he is just awesome. If you have any leaning towards roots rock, take a listen. 
As Erin mentioned, I spent the weekend traveling to and working at the Andrus Wildlife Management Area near Cambridge, ID. It was part […]

*End of the Line by The Traveling Wilburys. Even as a 14 year old quasi-headbanger, I thought these guys were really cool. Made up of superstars Roy Orbinson, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison, they only made one record together. Then, Roy died; the rest of the members went on to do another but […]

*John Muir
If you ever questioned why I like hiking or why I am constantly putting up links to pictures of the outdoors over on the right side of this page, watch this video. Granted, it profiles a trail I would likely never hike (I cannot stand the Florida heat and I like the challenge of […]

Oh, Asheville, how we miss thee

This is the kind of really cool stuff that happens back home. The best part is that it’s typically not organized by the city or anything; people just sort of spontaneously get together and do this kind of thing.

Our weekly lunch date

Posted on February 15, 2007 - Filed Under And your point is?, Adult swim | 2 Comments

I am not nor have I ever been a fast food junkie. Jason, however, has flirted with being one. Thankfully he always regains clarity after a bad meal. When I was younger, I would eat McDonald’s as a treat maybe one or two times a year. I was very monogamous to my ‘burger […]

Ah, the new year is here…

I know I should write more blog entries. I am just constantly busy & really haven’t been good at time management since Maggie arrived. Jason and I brought in the New Year watching TV. At least we were awake! On New Years Eve 1999 we feel asleep at 11:40pm. I don’t really have any specific […]

Clothes, clothes and more clothes

As visiting family and friends comes to a close, I begin the next activity of getting our house in order. I am usually overwhelmed with the packing process but this time not so much. The first item crossed off the list is our photos. I finally bought an organizer for the plethora of old pictures […]

The beauty of morning

Posted on July 14, 2006 - Filed Under And your point is? | Leave a Comment

This morning was one of those I really love. I walked outside and everything was very still and I could hear the various birds and bugs waking up. There was a bright moon still out and not a lot of clouds, so you could see the remaining stars. While I could hear some traffic from […]

What is it about Utah? There is a strange phenomenon ocurring among those who we have told about our move to Idaho. For some reason, we get asked questions about Utah. “Are you excited to move to Utah?” “When are you moving to Utah?”At least 3 different folks we talk to on a somewhat regular […]
