Well… it’s Thanksgiving day… about 1pm. I am sitting here recovering from the bruises I picked up during this mornings Turkey Bowl while watching the Packers and Lions football game. The hunger pangs are just beginning but they should be…
My daughter Abby (age 2) loves to give kisses… and her Daddy loves to receive them. Funny thing is Abby honestly believes her kisses have healing power. For the last several months, any time she falls down or bumps her…
What’s the deal with radio stations playing Christmas music in early November? Isn’t there an unwritten rule that Christmas music can’t be played on the radio before Thanksgiving? FM100…Salt Lake City’s #1 radio station… famous for their “soft, easy listening”…
Today I’m a little nostalgic as it marks 10 years from the day I arrived home from my mission on November 7, 1997. It’s amazing how many of the little details I remember from that day… from the ride to…
Today is my son David’s first birthday… and I’ve had a wonderful year with him. I must admit… my relationship with David gets better everyday… the older he gets… the more fun he gets. David has alway been a BIG…
This Halloween marks the first time in several years that I’ve actually carved a pumpkin…. actually I’ve done two just in the past few days. I’ve got to say… I’m really impressed with the great advances that have been made…
Sure… you may get a good sandwich on the East Coast… but good luck finding any decent Mexican food. I guess our Mexican friends must lose their cooking abilities the further they travel away from their homeland. As an adult…
Why is it that sandwiches are so much better on the East Coast than they are out here in the West??? Seriously… most sandwich shops West of the Mississippi are an ABSOLUTE JOKE. I was in a sandwich shop a…
Last week in my Advertising MBA class we were discussing some of the most effective TV campaigns of all time. Specifically we were talking about the TOTAL CEREAL advertising campaign that started back in the 1970’s…. naturally somebody remembered the…
A womens purse is a very mysterious thing. Almost every women I have ever known has owned either a purse or hand bag that contains dozens haphazard items. My mothers purse (the picture above was taken a few years ago)…
My wife would tell you it’s interesting how I can sleep through the sound of crying kids… but if a sprinkler breaks in the dark of the night… and I am up instantly. That’s exactly what happened the last week…
I enjoy following politics and currently support a presidential candidate… Mitt Romney. A few months back I contributed some money to his campaign and since that time I’ve been ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED BY THE AMOUNT OF MAIL I’VE RECEIVED… letters of…
Chalk this one up as my first conspiracy theory (certainly more will follow). I am absolutely convinced that the emergency room doctors and psychiatrists of the world have aligned themselves with the makers of those Indestructible Plastic Clam shells. Seriously……
Politicians are always fun to laugh at… especially when they say and do stupid things… and when there’s some sort of crazy sex scandal going on the humor seems to increase exponentially… Remember how much fun it was to watch…
Relationship problems, School Problems, Work Problems, Financial Problems, Odor Problems… etc. there are a lot of bad problems a person can have…. but I submit that CAR PROBLEMS are some of the worst. Why? 1- Car problems are like marijuana….…
I don’t understand allergies… not just your typical sneeze when the ugly cat’s in the room allergy… I am talking about the debilitating PEANUT ALLERGIES and ALLERGIES TO BEE STINGS. Seriously… I don’t understand how we can put a man…
… And now thanks to the Internet you can find out THE EXACT PERSONAL DATE OF YOUR DEATH. That’s right…. it may be a little bit morbid, but the web site www.deathclock.com has created the master algorithm! Simply put in…
I think it’s more of a fundamental law than a theory… Adding is just plain easier than subtracting. Gain 5 pounds… give me a weekend with some Chubby Hubby ice cream. Lose 5 pounds… much trickier. As a freshmen in…
Why do Babyboomers hate spicy food? Seriously… if you want to scare a 50-something… show up to the office with a spicy Thai dish… or some Indian, Afgan, or Pakastani food. That’s exactly what I did last week… I picked…
Back in August our little family went up to Yellowstone. We enjoyed the scenery and had a fun time swimming in the Firehole River… but I’ve got to admit I was a little disappointed with the Old Faithful Geyser. We…
Perhaps the worst thing about being a homeowner is dealing with plumbing problems. I think it’s one of Murphy’s Laws… Upon purchasing a home you will inevitably have pipes that break, drains that clog, a basement that floods, etc. etc.…
