I start out pretty optimistic about most people I meet. Or at least that’s how it probably sounds. Take the males of the human species as an example. I like to say I have a list of them that I would go on a date with. Pretty much all of them are on that list [...]

I read an article today in the Arizona Star about government proclamations to mark different things with specific days. The article was very well written to get it’s point across. It made me smile. I have decided that if the government can do it, so can I. Only I won’t be spending $88 on a [...]

I love running. It’s so freeing. It’s you and the world, and not much else. It’s been more than ten years since I bought new running clothes. In honor of running a marathon to turn 30, I decided I deserved some new clothes. I will be running the marathon in this outfit. And I love [...]

I hope you read some great poetry today. It is Great Poetry Reading Day after all. I love poetry. I know some people who don’t. But I believe that is because they do not understand it. Poetry was my favorite part of English class my senior year of high school. One of the poems we [...]

Yes, I know it was almost four months ago that I loaded everything I own into a moving van and drove it from Utah to Arizona. You might think that was when I officially moved here. But, as of yesterday, I’m declaring myself officially here. What’s the difference? Everything is now based out of Arizona. [...]

I’ve decided oranges are possibly my favorite fruit. They come with their own wrapper. Bananas do too, but bananas bruise and get squishy if I throw them in my backpack on my way out the door in the morning. Oranges don’t do that. Orange peels also smell better in the trash than banana peels do. [...]

Honk is a real cute musical based on the story of the ugly duckling. There are some songs in it that are absolutely beautiful. Honking can also be talked about in regards to relationships. Last night as I was driving home I heard John Tesh give some relationship advice to guys. He said they should [...]

It occurred to me this week that the city of Tucson does not own any snow plows, at all, none whatsoever. That’s not really a problem because they pretty much never need one. But it was fun to figure out anyway. Tucson does have mountain lions though. And there was an article in the newspaper [...]

Someone elsewhere asked what a meme is. I knew how I’d describe it. I’d describe it as a blog thing, a list of really random questions that someone answers on their blog, and then they tag other readers to do the same on their blogs, who then answer and tag others, and so it goes. [...]

There have been a couple of news articles this week that I felt like I wanted to comment on. They cover politicians thinking they know about education, religion, and politics in general, so this won’t be a terribly cheery post. You have been fair warned. The Deseret News reported on Monday at that Utah has [...]
