The Perilous Times of COVID-19

It sure seems like we are living in the last days.  A short time ago I had not heard of the coronavirus or COVID-19 as it is now called. We weren’t thinking of global pandemics. We were thinking about what to do for our 25th anniversary. A cruise? A trip whale watching? A getaway toContinue reading “The Perilous Times of COVID-19”

What to see in Salt Lake City Utah?

I am currently in Detroit, Michigan making a connecting flight from Harrisburg, PA to Seattle, WA. It was a ridiculously early flight which boarded at 5:10 a.m. I wanted to get home so I would still have some of my Saturday with my family back in Port Angeles, WA, but wowza! What a long dayContinue reading “What to see in Salt Lake City Utah?”

Making the most of the moment

Over the past few weeks I have been digitizing old home movies that are on VHS tapes. We haven’t owned a VCR for several years. Every now and then I’ve come across these VHS tapes and I’ve wanted to preserve them and show them to our kids, some of whom are now adults. The processContinue reading “Making the most of the moment”

MTC Day – Life moves pretty fast

As I opened Facebook today, a flood of memories and feelings came to me as I saw pictures of what was going on two years ago on this day.  In some ways two years is not a long time.

One year anniversary!

It’s been one year since I started this blog!  It’s been an incredible journey. It’s much harder than I anticipated to find the time to write. When I write, I want it to be worth your time to read it, and worth my time to write. Often I jot down a thought that I wantContinue reading “One year anniversary!”

Home in the Pacific Northwest

It’s official. We are residents of the Pacific Northwest! We now call Port Angeles, Washington home. It’s been a whirlwind. Pretty much ever since we decided to move to Port Angeles to be closer to my wife’s parents, every free minute has been fixing things at home, taking things to the Deseret Industries (similar toContinue reading “Home in the Pacific Northwest”

Fading away

I grew up in the 80’s and Marty McFly was a household name. He was the main character played by Michael J. Fox in the hit movie Back to the Future. There is a scene where a picture of him of him and his siblings start fading because it looks like history has been changed, and his parents might not get together.

Moving to Port Angeles, WA

Well I better officially announce that in June we are moving to Port Angeles, Washington to be closer to Jen’s parents. FAQ: 1. Why is there a moving van in your driveway? The big moving van is for the declutter move. Jen and I are driving up this weekend and storing a bunch of thingsContinue reading “Moving to Port Angeles, WA”

Invitation to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir live

One day I was listening to Music and the Spoken word, and it hit me. I looked at the calendar, and the trade show actually started on Sunday.  What if I invited everyone to come see Music and the Spoken word before going to the Salt Palace to trade show?
