Flight plan

So I was at a conference for work today and as part of one of the sessions they had some info on doing fly-alongs with Air-Med, the medical chopper for the University of Utah hospital. I was able to go through the fly-along orientation and sign up to possible fly with them sometime soon. They [...]

I get by with a little help…

A very dear friend of mine is going through a tough time right now.  It’s brought back some powerful and sometimes painful memories of some bad patches I’ve gone through myself.  One not unlike the situation my friend is in right now.  The thing that has always brought me back from the brink of destruction [...]

Police tickets

Yesterday I bought tickets to see The Police when they come here in July.  I was like 10 when they broke up, and I love their music so this is a big deal for me.  I nabbed an extra pair of tickets for my buddy Harold.  He’s in Iraq at the moment, but he’ll be [...]

Look! A clue!

My sister who lives in Pennsylvania has been visiting the past couple of weeks.  It’s been really good to have to family all hang out together.  With a minimum of fighting this time, which is extra nice.  We all love each other and get along, but we’ve all grown into our own selves and in [...]

As one [...]

Twitter: A lazy mans blog?

Take a few moments and go to Twitter.  It’s kind of like a blog, but really really short.  The idea is that thousands of people all over the world are answering this one simple question:  What are you doing?  If you don’t have time for a blog, but want to have your own space to [...]

Bye, Joefish

My little nephew, Joseph, who is all of two years old, came into town last week with his mother to visit while his dad was at their new home getting things ready for them. You see, he’s just got a new job in Princeton, New Jersey. They’ve been living in Boise while he [...]

Hi-tech torture

I’m taking college algebra this semester. Yay. One of the interesting things is that all our homework is submitted online. The website that we use to do that wanted to install a whole bunch of crap on my PC. It uses all kinds of Javascript and ActiveX controls. All the [...]

Yup. This is me.
