Recently, I reconnected with a couple friends I knew through the LDS church. We've emailed back and forth a bit (if you're reading this, I haven't given up - I've just been delayed!).
They were quite dismayed to learn that I had left the LDS church si…

Tonight, after dinner, Jill pulled ice cream out of the freezer. She made cones for the kids, and dished out some in bowls for the two of us. She asked me if I wanted "my ice cream," which is merely a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in vanilla variety. And…

I have to give a lot of kudos to my wife, Jill, for believing in me as much as she does. I can't begin to express how nice it is to have someone who has been so supportive of my desire to be a writer. Others have supported me over the years, but she re…

Anyone who reads this blog for a bit knows that I don't mention work very often. I don't talk about what I do for my own privacy, in addition to preventing my own doocing, and most especially because this blog is about me - I'm not the culmination of my…

I've decided that the Redbox could be the best invention ever. Hear me out. So a movie comes out. Let's use Old Dogs, for example, a movie starring Robin Williams, John Travolta, and Seth Green. It's the one with Seth Green singing to a gorilla in t…

Last Saturday I had someone tell me I looked familiar. Twice. Two separate people. I hear it a lot, though usually not twice in one day. You see, I have a doppelgänger. One was while interacting with a client. She said I looked like someone she k…

The neighbors were out in full force again. The other night was ripe with full monty from the dad and a quick flash from the mother. The neighbors are like a bad car wreck you can't look away from. On the one hand, you can't help but wonder about t…

Saturday night, we had someone stop by to test our water. They'd come to the door earlier in the week and spoken to Jill. It was supposed to be a quick, friendly test of your water softener by a local company. It turned out to be two hours of hell, i…

It's amazing how a litte rain causes people to drive like complete idiots. Sure, I know it doesn't rain all that much in Utah. But the way people drive during a light to gentle rain storm, you'd think they were driving through a hurricane. I've drive…

So I've got a nudist family living behind me. I seemed to miss that on the brochure when I was looking at the house last year.
Well, so far, I've only seen the father and the nearly adult son traipsing around naked in their backyard. And it's not lik…
