Weird Festivals!
For ten years in the 90's, the city of Boise had a pretty good festival. It was called the Boise River Festival, and it featured balloon launches, day and night parades, big-name free concerts, exhibits, cooking contests, variety entertainment, colorful souvenir t-shirts and tons of concessions. Some people thought it was weird to have a…… MORE
Early Morning Visitors
Driving to work this morning, I turned out of my neighborhood and saw two glowing eyes in the street. I slowed down and looked closer. Thinking they were cats I eased forward and honked when they wouldn't move out of the road. One of the animals started to sprint across the road, while the other…… MORE
88 Keys
I recently moved into a new house. Which is nice, because there is more room for me to put things and I can turn the place into my own. I love it, but at times it can get boring. Without cable and internet there isn't much a person can do for fun in 2014….at…… MORE
“Words” To Live By
I've heard a lot of name calling, hurt feelings and anger this week. I don't understand. More people seem angrier over the idea of two members of the same gender being joined in a union recognized by the state than are over the idea that we could be fined, or taxed, for not having health…… MORE

Best Beer Food
I've never been much of a barfly, so I don't hang around the area of 6th and Main in Boise on Friday and Saturday nights. I have been down there on occasion, however, and I remember enjoying a chorizo with the works from the vendor Yankee Dog late at night. I remember standing in line…… MORE
Ginger’s Weird Characteristics
I've turned into a video lover. I bought myself a video camera as a college graduation gift to myself. I haven't really touched the camera since I first bought it but lately I've been using it non-stop. Most of the time it is to film my amazing puppy dog, Ginger and of course the other…… MORE
