I am finally getting around to reading a book my mom bought last year for my birthday, Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. It’s the story of how Mortenson came to build many schools for the children of Pakistan and Afghanistan. So far, it’s a pretty good book. And it’s […]

I am in New Jersey for some additional school/training before we head to Japan. This time is only for a little more than three weeks, as opposed to moving to Texas for six months, so Erin and the kids stayed back there.
My time here thus far has not been incredibly exciting or anything. I go […]

As I write this, I am sitting on a flight from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Philadelphia on my way to New Jersey for some ‘follow-on training’. Yes, more school. Six months of eight hours a day wasn’t enough. Fortunately, this one is only about three weeks; I’ll be home on March 2nd.

Our street is (or was, as of today seeing as how we moved out today in preparation for the big move) a cul-de-sac and we have the good fortune of living on the very end. In an effort to inspire confidence and competence, I started allowing Maggie to ride her scooter all the way around […]

The time has come to say goodbye, again, to a place we’ve grown familiar with, people we’ve met along the way, and a life we created in Idaho. I remember when we first arrived in this black hole of a town we wanted to turn right around and drive as fast as we could outta […]

“We’re All in This Together” by Old Crow Medicine Show…this is an amazingly beautiful song.
This is a very powerful article concerning many different issues but focused on one person’s struggle with the burdens of age. It is long but well worth the read.

We have been taking Maggie to a dance class for quite some time now, probably since the fall of last year. She has persisted in being interested and it is only $25/month, so we figured it was worth it. The big payoff is viewable below in the form of her first recital (sorry about the […]
