Maggie and I just got back from a two week trip to Florida. The flights to Florida were absolutely horrible. From Idaho to Denver Maggie and I had the window seat. The woman setting next to us (middle seat) was probably close to 400lbs. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Maggie decided to […]

Well, for all intents and purposes, deer hunting season #1 is over for me (although the season does not close until 31 Oct, I want to spend time with Erin and Maggie, especially since they’ve been gone for 2 weeks). I went out today with a co-worker. We got a good start by being in […]

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, […]

I had written a much longer version of this post but I heard Erin’s voice in my head: “People don’t want to read some boring tale about your hunting adventures.” Fair enough. So, in an effort to keep it short:
I hunted by myself both days this weekend. My co-worker, JC, was not able to come […]

Have you ever been embarrassed? I don’t mean a little bit; have you ever been absolutely mortified? Watch this video and the next time you feel a twinge of embarrassment, think about what this woman must have dealt with.

I actually—FINALLY!!!—went hunting (for grouse) yesterday. I’ve been hunting before—twice while still in high school. I didn’t get anything back then and had only one occasion on which to fire my borrowed rifle. Since then, the opportunity to go again just hasn’t come up; even if it had, my stupid foolish pride would have kept […]

Cherish this video…Maggie may someday be a great performer of some kind and this is one of her first videotaped performances. (She’s not great at it but she just recently learned the song and the movements.)

For some time now, we have noticed an interesting phenomenon displayed in the behavior of our little Nugget. When we are carrying her and heading toward the living room, especially the couch, she begins to cry. It’s all over if we try to sit down. This happens unless we emphatically tell her we are going […]
