While reading the news yesterday I came across this article from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx20lwedn23o It is about whether or not President Trump can be president for a third term. I thought, “No you can’t!” but then read the article to see what it had to say. Apparently, President Trump has been making comments about wanting…
A Visit to Baker City, Oregon
It is March and with kids that means it is the time for Spring Break. Back in AZ that meant we would travel to our cabin up north, but we are in Idaho now and no cabin. ”B” still wanted to do something, the only issue was that I am teaching at 3 colleges and…
Concert – Anberlin, Copeland, and Spitalfield
The other night I had the opportunity to go to a concert at the Treefort Music Hall in Boise. I happened to see an advertisement on Facebook about Anberlin coming to Boise, and I clicked on it. They were coming to Boise about a 10 days from the day I saw the advertisement. I was…
The New Canham Orchard
I mentioned last fall that the girls all wanted fruit tress again in our yard. At the time I was able to get a pear and a nectarine tree to put in, along with a raspberry and marionberry bush. Well, the ground has thawed out and it is time for more trees to be planted….

mmhmm – Relient K
Time for another album review. This is another of my top albums. It is mmhmm by Relient K. This is the album that was their BIG hit album, and I totally get it. It has so many great songs. Don’t get me wrong I like a lot of their music on their albums as well,…
February Music
Time for another commentary on what I was listening to this last month. There isn’t a whole lot new this month on the artist side – Relient K, Anberlin, Switchfoot, Five Iron Frenzy, MxPx, Brave Saint Saturn, The Insyderz, and Jon Foreman. But wait Dennis McCarthy and Audio Adrenaline? They are new to list. Since…
