We decided about 6 months ago that I should go back to school to pick up a Masters of Business Administration. The theory: more education = more money. The 3-semester program starts in the Fall, however, in order to qualify for the program there are a number of prerequisites that I needed to complete. There […]

I work for a great company. It is the only company I know of that would dare take down the American Flag in favor of a pirate flag. Although it was a unique event to do so. The company was shutting down for the morning so that all of the employees could go to the […]

Tina pointed out to me the other day that I haven’t ever made a post about my new scooter. I typically drive a dark blue 1996 Ford Explorer XLT. It gets about 15 MPG and has a trailer hitch. I love SUVs in that I can haul people, things, and trailers. Gas prices, though, have […]

Friday Night/Saturday morning was the West Point, Utah Stake’s annual Father & Son’s outing at Camp Woodland. Tina’s parents are part of that stake and her father, R.J., annually invites his son and son’s-in-law. This year, I decided to bring Bridget with me. Now, I don’t need people telling me that Bridget is not my […]

So there we were, two grown men, crossing a wooden plank in search of treasure. Our location (in normal person terms) would have been about 1500 North and 200 West, west side of the road where a wooden footbridge crosses the canal. In our language, we were at N 41° 45′ 34.6788″ W 111° 50′ […]

In support of Tina’s brief siesta from blogging, I have decided to keep you all somewhat entertained by sharing with you some information of our Monday’s FHE activity. (Yes, this is Dave. Tina is on a blog vacation. The previous post called Photosynth/Seadragon was also from me. I assure you, however, that any messages left […]

Okay this is a seriously geeky post. The technology is so wonderful, though, that I had to share. Watch this video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129. Can you imagine, using the pictures that I took on our family trip to Disneyland this past week and dropping them into this worldwide picture collection? The concept of browsing through such an […]

Dave here. Awhile back, I purchased a collection of games by Valve. The collection of games included: Portal, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, and Team Fortress 2. I posted previously about Portal (with a promise to post again about the game’s ending). This post is about […]

Sidewalk Chalk

The other day Bridget and I were outside playing with sidewalk chalk. We traced her body and added a face and some clothes (inspired by the chalk outlines drawn on our driveway this past April Fools). And then I started writing “I love Daddy” – when I told her what it said, she starting singing […]

Last week we took Bridget to the park. She recently got up the courage to go down some of the bigger slides by herself, so she was pretty actively showing off. We decided it might be fun to teach her how to slide down on her belly. We were at Willow park – the big […]
