As you may have noticed from some of the pictures posted in the last couple of days, Maggie and I went to the Daniel Dopps 4th Annual Memorial Rodeo here in Mountain Home last Saturday night. It was a good time overall, though there was something that got to me.
It happened almost as soon as […]

You would think that if you’ve been through something once, you would have learned from it. Well, as it turns out, that’s not always true, at least when it comes to Erin and I. In the lead up to Wyatt’s delivery, we were incredibly anxious—impatient, even—for him to finally get here. In fact, one day […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Well, I am taking the third (behind the first, buying a gun, and the second, working on marksmanship) step toward becoming a real hunter: I am taking the hunter’s safety course for the state of Idaho this week. Time wise, it’s pretty demanding: M-F 6-9pm, Sat 9am-12pm, and again on the following Mon 6-9pm. I […]

Some of you know it is that time of the year for me to find out if I have been selected for promotion. This is the third time I have been up for this one and it is a very difficult promotion to obtain. If I had stayed in Asheville, doing the job I was […]

*Jake’s brother, after having made a fantastic boo-boo.
My job really sucks sometimes. Actually, it isn’t the job: I love the students most of the time, the work itself takes me out my comfort zone and is very challenging, and I have a finished product every six weeks. The problems pretty much center around my inability […]
