A few of you may already know about this, but we decided to get another dog. Mostly because Chloe has been super clingy and a little destructive (I believe I mentioned the numerous bed-chewing incidents) when left alone during the day. We figured she needed some company. A couple of weeks ago, we went […]

I really enjoy having seasons. Living in Las Vegas, I missed out on crisp falls with leaves crunching underfoot. Snow in the valley happened maybe twice in the 14 years I lived there. You more-or-less differentiated the weather between "hot" and "not hot". Utah has some spectacular falls, and I enjoy having snow in the […]

Today marks the oft-delayed launch of Sony's Playstation 3, the next iteration of their market-dominating game console. The question, however, is why anyone should care. All of the parties involved in our nation's latest "Tickle Me Elmo" craze are bonkers.

I went to the grocery store last night to pick up a few items for meatball subs (yes, they were good). While traveling from the bakery to the dairy case, I passed through the chip isle and saw (drumroll please) dill pickle potato chips.
I did a double take and then looked around for the ketchup […]

With the election behind us and leadership positions firmed up, legislators are scrambling to put together the list of priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

Scientists in Japan created a robot that can smell and taste foods. One of the reporters in the room thought it'd be funny to stick his hand in front of it and see what happened. The result? The robot said he was a piece of prosciutto. His cameraman was identified as bacon. So much […]

Saturdays have become less of a relaxing day and more of a "work outside of the office" day. Between the demands of the recent campaign, maintenance on the house, and pitching in on service projects, it feels like it's been forever since there's been a Saturday of nothing but sitting around and doing absolutely nothing.
