Me... online. Welcome.
American’s love football. I love football. I’ve never lived in an NFL football town. Yea, I’m from Montana. But, I’ve lived in some great college football towns. Missoula, MT has the University of Montana Grizzlies (my alma mater), a perennial power in what used to be called Division 1-AA — which is now called the [...]
Have you ever had your ass kicked? It happens all the time on the movies, the hero or the villian takes a beating but seems barely phased. That’s total horse crap in case you hadn’t guessed yet.
I don’t know how I got to where I am today. I suppose a little reflection on my part [...]
Wow… I’m really tired. I’m not sure we are even going to understand how our lives have just changed. Our little boy is so cute. And now he has a name!
Introducing Carter Edwin Neal, born 6lbs 6oz and 19″ long and healthy as… you know, something we all think of as being very healthy. Carter [...]
So Jill wasn’t kidding!
At 5am this morning she started feeling contractions, at 9am I called the midwife on call, at 1pm we arrived at the U of U hospital (and Melissa, our favorite midwife was on call!) and Jill was 6cm, at 3pm Jill was at 9cm (oh, and I’m sick as a dog… damz…), at 5pm [...]
So Jill says she is in labor…
…
Right now!
The Little One cometh.
OK, so Jill and I have been going to birthing classes as we anticipate The Little One. And that’s exactly what we say. And if people want to believe that means lamaze class or whatever that’s fine with us because truthfully we are a little embarrassed to be going. If there is one thing good conservative Christians aren’t [...]
I’ve always had an over-inflated sense of what was right and what was wrong. Sometimes that served me well; like when my sixth grade friend said we should hide in a ditch and shoot at oncoming cars with his new bee-bee gun I said, “Hellz no, my dad will literally kick my ass into next [...]
At the SLC Bees game. Literally sweating my ass off and its 9PM! DAMNZ! Anyway, want to start writing more often here, even though I have nothing to say! And that after 2 beers (my father-in-law is in town, what else am I suppose to drink?)!
That and I want to try my new WP [...]
Our culture is consumed by fear. Its all the rage. Afraid of Osama; afraid of the world melting; afraid that we won’t get to keep our happy little lives the way they are. In many ways there isn’t anything more wrong with our collective consciousness’s than this fear mongering we are so adept at.
But there [...]
So I was in Barnes & Noble paging through some books I had no intention of buying because I'm cheap… sipping my $4 latte (yes, there was a hint of sarcastic irony there) and came across a book called "Poor People" by a certain William Vollmann–I'm sure his friends call him Bill. Anyway, Bill, who [...]
