I Gave Up

This spring, I talked a lot about how I was going to keep my grass looking nice and perfect all season long. I don’t know why, but for some reason once the hottest months of the summer arrive, I stop caring for my lawn. Maybe those first few blades of crabgrass are enough to frustrate […]

Escalation or Off-Ramp?

It has been a very dark time in our country’s history. Every time we turn on the news or scroll through social media, we are reading more stories of acts of violence against one another, many of those acts fueled by political differences. The governor of Utah just gave a speech today where he discussed […]

I Knew The Day Would Come

Parenting has always been a stressful endeavor. There’s no handbook that outlines everything you’ll experience as a parent, so you just do your best. I’ve always known that the day would come when my 15 year old daughter starts “talking” to a boy. Last night was it. My wife and I walked into her bedroom […]

A Prune is a….

Oddly enough, I assumed that everyone knew the answer to this. Especially my wife. She is one of the smartest people I know. Not only does she have incredible street smarts, but she also has two Master’s degrees. Recently, we were together with some friends. The topic of prunes was brought up. I mentioned how […]

Accountability

The other day, I posted on our Facebook page about how my daughter accepted responsibility for the first time in her 15 years on this earth. I wanted to explain more about this, and why this is such an important thing. My daughter had planned to fly to Florida with her best friend and her […]

Flying Cars Coming Soon?

You may recall back in 2023, it made news that a company was working on a flying car and had received FAA approval for testing. To me, it seemed like anything else…just a dream, but likely nothing we would ever see in our lifetime. Fast-forward two years, and we are now (potentially) on the brink […]

Germs!

🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠 Anyone that knows me well, knows that I am an absolute germophobe! I didn’t always used to be that way. When I was a kid, I always touched everything in sight and had dirty hands pretty much constantly. I would only wash my hands before eating because my mom told me to. But as […]

Scams, scams, everywhere there’s scams…

Doesn’t it seem like there are more scams now than ever before? If you answer that question with a “no,” then you might become a victim of one, if you haven’t already. Scams are everywhere, and in different forms. Social media has been a breeding ground for scammers. It used to just be about obtaining […]
