Trimming Trees!
Last year, I treated myself to another (manly) tool to add to my arsenal. I always wanted to have my own chainsaw, but figured that I probably wouldn’t get a lot of use out of it. So, last year, I bought myself a new electric pole saw. Which is basically a small chainsaw at the […]

That’s It, I’m Done
If you’ve listened to my show the last few weeks, I’ve been talking at length about my kidney stone. I had surgery over a week ago to remove the stone, then my urologist put in a stent into my kidney. Well, I finally had that stent removed and everything seems to be good! I do […]

This Time It’s Painfully Different
If you have listened to my ramblings over the past couple of weeks regarding the kidney stone, you’re probably sick of hearing about it. But I can assure you not nearly as sick as I am of dealing with it! I had surgery on Tuesday morning to remove the stone. At least, that’s what I […]

A Cell Phone At How Old!?
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a guy whose seven year old daughter has a cell phone. I think for most of us, that seems a little young. And the general consensus in the comments section of the post was exactly that. Lots of different opinions were represented! That brings up […]

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 […]

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 […]
