3 CommentsA “Tug”
I have been wanting to put my thoughts on a couple of things down here for a while, but I wanted to mull them over longer first. My wife posted a blog on her site about something that we’d sort of talked briefly about, but something that interests us both. I’m not sure how to...

Comments Off42/365: Mittens On
Today we got a care package from Mum in Canada. She sent some Canadian wear… including red and white Winter Olympics Fleece Lined Mittens with the Canada Logo and the Olympics logo on them. So we posed fo her… hoping it makes her smile as much as her care packages always make us...

Comments OffIf Jesus were a politician… today?
Mulling some things over today, in my general irritation with politics, bosses and well the world in general I had a question pop in my mind. Would Jesus be a Democrat or a Republican? I believe he’d be a Democrat if he had to be anything, but likely would not affiliate with any party unless...

Comments OffTweet Tweet
I have spent the past few days learning a new subject matter: Twitter. I was first introduced to Twitter by a friend over a year ago, but I deleted my first attempt at it shortly thereafter because I didn’t “get it”. Then a few months ago my wife (@beingcrys) joined Twitter again and checked out...

Comments Off25/365: Blizzard of Flurries.
The weatherman said, flurries, 1-2 inches accumulation. What we got: Blizzard, roads closed, 4 to 6 foot drifts in the country roads, school closed, unable to get to work, another winter storm. Wednesday’s forecast calls for ‘chance of scattered snow showers’… or is it ‘chance of scattered blizzard conditions’ again? I am more than ready...

Comments Off8/365: ICICLE
How we have felt the last few days here in Iowa… like an ICICLE…this one hangs from the very top of the peak of the roof of the house, and we have not knocked it down for fear of putting it through this picture window. The past few days we’ve been inundated with blizzard conditions,...

Comments OffGoals not Resolutions.
Tomorrow brings a new year, a new decade. This past decade has not been the best for me with all the losses me and my family have endured. Fire, Hurricane, tornado, and death: losses that are all huge and hard to recover from, but as we begin this new year, this new decade, we are...

Comments OffSome Observations about Christmas 2009
Everyone loves socks, especially fuzzy soft fleecy ones infused with aloe. There are really these things called “Butt Out” s that take the ass out of a deer… yes seriously. (wonder if they work on people) That a Deer “Grunt” sounds like a Fart. Nano bugs are like robot cockroaches on speed. Santa gets way...

Comments OffGuest Blogger: Jim Erickson: Reviews TSO- Let it Snow.
I am doing something different in this post. I am posting a review by a Guest Blogger, my friend Jim Erickson who went to see this show in Wells Fargo Arena Tuesday, December 22. Perhaps by his words we can experience the magic and splendor of this show vicariously. Lasers and smokebombs – check. Staccato...

Comments OffThankful
Today is Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. I am going to do the very cliche blog post about all that I am thankful for and I don’t care that it’s cliche, because it’s all genuinely from my heart. I have so many blessings in my life to be thankful for. I am thankful for my family, those...
