    To celebrate our anniversary, traditionally and I have found a way to get out of town to a nice bed and breakfast and enjoy a relaxing weekend together.  We’ve stayed at all kinds of places, and usually had a great time.  It’s nice to be waited on for a change – to be pampered, spoiled,…

    Several weeks ago I ran across an article about HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography.  HDR photos are produced by taking several different shots of the same scene with different exposure settings, and then doing a sort of a blending of all the shots to produce one image.  The result can be anything from stunning to…

    Those of you who know me personally know that I like to think I’m pretty handy with power tools. Ok, so mostly I take big pieces of wood and make them into smaller pieces of wood. I’ve built lots of stuff around the house – storage shelves in the garage, a workbench, some invisible shelves,…

    A few weeks ago, my brother in law and I built a fire pit in our backyard.  I’ve been waiting since the concrete finished curing to have the gub’ment tell me I would not cause anyone to come down with emphysema by having a fire in my backyard. Today was finally the day. We toasted marshmallows and…

    All growing up we had “common ground” that ran through some areas of our neighborhood.  As an adult, I now realize that this is where the power lines went through the neighborhood, and city zoning would not permit land developers to build right under the lines.  Driving past this area today, I was struck by…

    Ever since my father passed away several years ago, my mom has been trying to figure out where she should live – stay in St. Louis, move to Salt Lake where some of her kids live, move to Idaho, where other kids live, move somewhere completely different, etc. Well, she finally bought a house in…

    I’m in St. Louis right now to help with moving my mom to Boise.  We hired some good folks from Labor Ready today to come help clean out the house, and as a result found ourselves ahead of schedule this afternoon. So we took time to catch a movie (saw Get Smart – good fun…

    My wife and I just took a vacation down to Cedar City for the Shakespeare festival, followed by a full day to play in Zion National Park.  While the Shakespeare festival was a bit underwhelming (we saw “The Taming of the Shrew” and “The School For Wives”) our day in Zion Park was fantastic. We…

    My wife’s family came to visit us for the 4th of July.  After they arrived and got settled in, we began to think about what we had been up to.  My father in law mentioned that he and his son (with his church youth group) had spent the previous evening building rockets out of soda…
