So the other day i took the motorcycle out with the intention of just doing a quick loop to clear my head. See, right down at the end of Orchard Street, just past where it meets i84, the street becomes Gowen Rd and does a long loop South of the airport [...]

Yesterday we spent money. We now own everything for the preparation of food, aside from a professional quality stove, that we will ever need. We added a quality toaster oven and, wait for it, a Weber propane-fired grill. See, this house, the one in Boise, is the first “house” we’ve ever [...]

Hours of Daylight – Less than yesterday
Stick a fork in me; I’m simply done. Reading about the latest bombing, this time at the resort of Sharm El-Sheik, the whole picture has finally come together for me. Basically I can no longer stop repeating the quote attributed to George Orwell: “It’s not a matter of whether [...]

Oh the news… the news. If it isn’t Iraq it’s Karl Rove. If it’s not Rove it’s more bombs in London. If not that then it’s some other nasty tragedy going on someplace far from Boise. And then, just when the guard is down, i read Jimmy Doohan has died. So [...]

The days continue to shrink, the moon is waxing, and i’m filled with the spirit of Thespis. Last night Annette and I attended “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. Suffice to say it ranked right up there with all the previous times [...]

We did it, we did our first overnight in the van since moving to Idaho! It was not a major expedition or anything like that, just an overnight at Bruneau Dunes State Park. We didn’t even leave the house until about 1:30… as the park is only about 50 miles from [...]

As the evidence of the world going to hell continues to mount along with the body count from London, i can report my deck is finally “complete.” This marks the first major home-related project completion so far. Ok, some statistics for anybody so inclined: The deck is 28 feet long, 16 [...]

One of the popular pastimes here in Boise, i had heard, was tubing down the Boise river. However all i ever heard was "tubing down the river is great fun." Not once did any of the people speaking take a moment to explain how one goes about tubing down the river.

The news about that triple homicide in Coeur d’Alene continues to just get more and more awful. That the girl was located alive and seems, so far, healthy and ok is wonderful. What she’s been through would probably give David Lynch nightmares.
