Last posting about that weekend (not this one). I meant to get it out earlier in the week, but it was my first week of classes so that didn’t happen. One of the other things my fmaily did while we were up north was go sledding. Often there is a large pile of snow in…
Girl Scout Cookies!
So it is that time of year when my 2 wonderful daughters sell girl scout cookies. They work so hard to sell cookies. They walk the neighborhood, the setup a table at our nearest major intersection, they do troop booths, and they talk to their teachers (both school and dance). This is all to sell…
One of My Personal Fears
I don’t fear much in life. I have mentioned before that I have lived a very blessed life, and that is one reason I don’t have much fear. I also know that God is watching over me and is with me all the time. As a result I don’t tend to live in fear of…
Skiing today
Today I got to go skiing for the first time this season. I was up at Sunrise Ski Park outside Greer. I got there early as usual, and was able to get my new RFID ticket, and also get on the slopes right away once they opened. Here is a shot from the beginning of…
I got it out – and a visitor
We got the car out. After about an hour of work I got the car out. I had to do a bunch of digging out under the car and under the tires. I also had to use a screwdriver to knock ice out from under the tired (somewhat), and then I stuck boards under tires…
Meetings and Snow

Not your typical car need
I had to go out in my car this morning, and I had to pull over and do something that you don’t tend to think about in Chandler, AZ. I had to scrap the ice off my window so I could drive. Thankfully I had my Maricopa parking pass on its plastic sheet to use…
MxPx, Relient K, Less Than Jake, and Smoking Popes concert
I got to do something fun yesterday. I drove to the Los Angeles area to go to a MxPx, Relient K, Less Than Jake, and Smoking Popes concert at the Hollywood Palladium. I had heard about the concert months ago, and I was pretty interested. I really like Relient K and MxPx, I had heard…
The Wheel of Time (book series)
I just finished listening to the last book in the “Wheel of Time” series. It has taken me a long time to get through all the 14 books. They were long books, even in audio form. On average each book took me a little over a month to finish. So, you can see that even…
