I want to publicly thank Nate Shelman for choosing a team with no talent. My Atlanta Braves have beaten his Cleveland Indians 2 days in a row now, but then again every baseball team can beat them. Thursday's game will probably end up in a win for the Braves again. Our bet ended with me winning a soda and David brought…… MORE
Scrimmage On The Blue
I arrived early for Sunday's Boise State football scrimmage, so I walked around the perimeter of the stadium a few times. The physical change to Bronco Stadium in the past few years is staggering. I have been in Boise a long time and actually remember games in the old wooden stadium which preceded the current…… MORE
Get Back
I recently saw this band called Get Back at the Art Festival in Nampa. They are a tribute band for The Beatles. Now, anyone that knows me knows I am obsessed with The Beatles. As I was about to leave I looked up at the stage and was stunned by this group that looked like…… MORE
“Safety” First?
When "safety" is the lead argument, but not the true argument. Schools always want more money. Hey, who doesn't. When it comes to the schools wanting more, they have to ask their community. Meridian School District has, in my opinion, been creative with coming up with ideas for suplimental revenue streams. Considering school bus advertising…… MORE
Pow! Zap! Bang!
I was a comic book reader when I was a kid, but I didn't really care for superhero comics. I didn't read Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, the Green Lantern, the Fantastic Four or anything like that unless someone (generally my parents or grandparents) bought me a copy. I was more into the Archies and Dennis the…… MORE
Movie Watching
I decided to watch a new movie over the weekend. The Decendants with George Clooney ended up being my movie choice. Basically, the movie is about Clooney's wife in the film, who is dying. So, he brings his two daughters to say goodbye. A secret of the wife's surfaces though. Clooney finds out she was…… MORE
Life Is A Highway
Recently we sold our ranch in Montana so we could move my mother in law closer to us. This past weekend we helped her move her horses and possessions to her new place near New Plymouth. I have made the drive from Boise to Corvallis, Montana many times over the past eight years. This…… MORE
A Magnificent Waste Of Time
I recently discovered a marvelous waste of time. It's a website called "Flickchart", and it's right up my alley. I've always wished I could compile an accurate list of things like my favorite movies or albums or songs, and Flickchart is the closest I've come to doing that so far, at least for movies. Here's…… MORE
One The Road Again
I recently went on a trip to Lewiston and Clarkston. I am a recent graduate from Boise State University, so going to school and working all of the time kept me busy. It's the first trip I have been on in over 4 years because of school. My goal for the entire trip was to see at…… MORE
I’m Walkin’…..Yes Indeed I’m Walkin’
My wife, Tamara and I have been getting in shape this summer by walking five or more miles a day on the greenbelt. It is amazing how many Boiseans take advantage of this terrific resource. We see hundreds of walkers, joggers and bicyclists every day, no matter what the weather, or time of day. The…… MORE
