The following story really needs no introduction, but if it does not move you, I would be quite surprised. Needless to say Jason, or “J-Mac” is an inspiration to me. I need to be more like J-Mac. I saw the video version of this story on ESPN this morning, and I just […]
Yes, my friends yesterday at Bridger Bowl where my lovely wife and our good friends are headed tonight on a road trip. Bridger received 34 inches on snow in a 24 hour period - I can’t really even imagine that much snow, but I can’t wait. Skiing in powder is like floating on clouds - […]

So, you all know how my wife and I love to travel to Hawaii right? One of the main reasons we enjoy visiting the islands is due to the fact that we love the people of Hawaii. Hawaiians are about the most laid-back, friendly, welcoming, generous people group I have ever encountered. […]
U2 just keeps humming along. They are amazing really. How many bands have come and gone during the 25 year reign of U2 at the top? Thousands. The great thing about U2 is they keep putting out great music. This post is just a tribute and way for me to […]
