I know, I'm sure you thought I would probably never write again. But alas, here I am. Of course it is only fair... given that circumstances that you may not be reading this anymore. I get that. And I'm ok with it. But I've been pondering a question, and I think it would be interesting to find out what people think about it. Yep, you guessed it... It's a dating question. Kind of a dangerous topic

For a PSA Ah, Who am I kidding, There's no regularly scheduled programming, Heck we're lucky if there's any programming at all. But since my parents up and bought a car last weekend, I thought I would take a minute to share some thoughts on driving. (the car is being built right now... if everything is going as it should be) You're probably worse than you think. Actually it has long been my

This is close to my real recipe, but there are some differences. I'll fix it some time when I... well have time. Ingredients4 cups milk 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup (2 sticks), plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Zest from 1 lemon 3/4 cup fine semolina (preferably Greek) 3 large eggs 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 9 sheets phyllo 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

I guess you could say that I'm an idea guy. I like to think about things. I think about things that I need, I think about things that others need, and I think about things that people might want. And sometimes I think 'you know I actually like that idea.' So sometimes when I like an idea, and things start to come together I just go with it. Last fall I had one such idea. I decided our community

Soup for one. Yep I got the soup and it was worth it. I learned perhaps even more than I expected to, and I am now a professional onion stirrer. He even asked us if we wanted to know any of his other soups. He taught the one that I was looking for, so I didn't think to ask him about any others... yes I have failed every one of you. I didn't not learn the secret of the Tomato-Basil. Drat. But I

Man it's cold outside, I'm so glad I'm not a mailman today. You may not know this, but I will almost never cross my legs with the right leg on top. I got my 1099 from Amazon today category: Royalties, and I smiled. Best advice I ever got at the post office, 'just be faster.' Second best advice I got... when I asked how to deal with the snow "Find a relative with a 4-wheel drive vehicle."

When you start at the Post office, they warn you about some of the common things you might run into. Dogs, cars, thugs, and of course the occasional wasp or bee sting. On my first day out, I realized just how many dogs there were in the area. There are tons of them. But mostly they didn't seem to be a problem. The USPS provides it's letter carriers with some dog spray, but it not actually

Hey everybody, I just wanted to let you know that I am learning the secret soup. Or perhaps its the secrets of the soup. Ok so here's the scoop, The other day I was just sitting there, minding my own business, and I got this email. It was all about some upcoming food events in this area. Quite honestly most of them didn't really appeal to me, but then my eyes caught something. I saw a name

Ok I admit it, I'm just a little bit nerdy, but I just found out that the Census Bureau is about to release the 2010 findings, and I totally geeked out. In 2000 our state (Utah) was the fifth fastest growing state. We were up 29%. If by chance we go up by about 25% this year we will finally get our fourth congressional seat. There are a few other ways we could get one, (I'm not totally sure

That's right, "the pie that changes peoples lives" is back. Or it's here. I'm not sure which way it is but it's real. The increasingly popular recipe has been added to the holiday supplement for the community interfaith cookbook (all proceeds go are donated to the local food pantry). I thought the pie might have been in the first edition of the book, but alas, it didn't quite make it, but now,

In the news today Facebook announces a new email/ messaging service....Wait what?Facebook seriously? That's like the last company on earth that I want to be in charge of my email. No really, I don't trust those people one bit. And I certainly wouldn't trust them to be in charge of my email.First there is the whole Facebook chat thing.

Training was good, there were three of us in the training class (which is a lot), and we were all coming to the same post office. Unfortunately the other two were being trained for a virtually indistinguishable job that pays better (the training was the same). I just didn't have to take the test that they took. I would have. I could have. I don't even hate tests. But because they had taken the

I thought it would be interesting to share some of my experiences working with the USPS. In a way this is tricky, because there is a lot that I can't talk about... I can't tell you where somebody lives, and I certainly can't tell you what I have given them. But still there are things, some of which amuse me, that I think would be interesting so I thought I would share.First the Prologue, It's

After what seemed like perhaps the longest application process that I've ever been through, I was hired by the U.S. Postal Service. Yeah, I passed the drug test, and the driving test and even the background check. Last Monday I started my training. They say it's supposed to be difficult,

So here's the scoop. Friday (yes they are still on Fridays - despite what some who got the text  message thought) more Extreme Croquet.  Maybe even with a special treat. Maybe. CVMS ( I think it's MS) 7:15 Point number 2.  I have COMPLETED MY INTERVIEWS with each of the candidates for Cedar City Mayor!One of them I had to do twice, but they have all been done.   Sometimes I love technology,

That's right I got my first interview. It went fairly well, though I admit, I'm not as good as I'd like to be. But regardless one is done. (Now I'm hoping Google is going to transcribe it for me, but it's looking kind of doubtful, but it's a big job, so maybe it's just taking some time Ü). Either way I Interviewed Raymond Green, and I will post a link here to the interview when I get it added

Extreme Croquet has been extremely pleasant.First I would like to give a brief re-cap of the Summer Series of Extreme Croquet.I can't really say that I knew what to expect, but I wanted something fun, and simple.Something fairly dependable, but not overly demanding. And while I am mostly famous for my Shuffleboard experiences, I am a multi-dimensional entity. So I decided to branch out, and the

We've had a good series of Extreme Croquet so far this summer, and we're still going.Last week we had an amazing course near the SUU Library, and I'm not just saying that because I won (though coincidentally I did... Finally I have won a few. I was a little worried after the night at the beginning where I died four for four games, right off the bat). So this week we will be playing at the Old

You know what I like?Objectivity.It seems to be a lost art, but I really like it when someone can see both good and bad, and evaluate things in an environment unrestrained by biases.Ironically, those sources that most people turn to, often do have a bias. News media is biased to the left, talk radio in these parts is biased to the right. But neither one seems to remember Journalism: reporting

One of the first things you might notice as you enter a typical house in Greece, is the door. From the outside, it looks about like any other door. From inside the residence, it looks about the same, but if you catch it from the side you notice something very different: the dead bolt.Or perhaps it would be better to say the dead bolts. You see in Greece, they don't have a dead bolt in each door

I noticed something very interestingwhile I was watching some TV one day.I noticed that I like bright things.Super-bright.No not the amount of light that it puts out,(though I seriously didn't like that one harry potter movie)But how smart it is, or maybe...how significant intelligence is to the program.As I looked back these were some shows that I noticed I watched.Most of them use excellence as

I spent a good deal of time the other day, thinking about investments. I like to think about investments, I like to watch my favorite stocks, and to find new stocks that I really like. I read an article that talked about the value of investing, specifically the value of investing in American stocks in these trying, and difficult times.As I thought about this concept, about investing when times

Day 24: Greenland to EnglandOk so I'm in Greenland, and clearly getting out is going to be a pain.I mean there's really nothing close to Greenland,but I guess It's time to hop on the first plane I can and get to London.So I get to London, and man am I tired.So I sleep,and I sleep some more.Day 25: LondonLondon is an impressive city,maybe even too impressive, I clearly can't take it all in, so I

No seriously. Ok not seriously.I think Apples are great. Both the computers/gadgets and the fruits.and I have no problem with people buying them,Apple's stock is low, so it would seem to be at least a decent time to buy it,but as always I am not a financial analyst, so don't buy it just because I say to.As for the computers, well Apple keeps putting out these dang impressive little things.

The other day I was talking with my friend Cardine and she suggested that we each write a guest entry for the other one's blog. We each had a list of topics that we thought would be interesting to hear about. We each picked one and this was the result.My Best Date (by Cardine)Hi. I'm going to address this topic politician-style and not really address the issue that's being presented or the

It started with a book, and then there was a blog, and then a friend inspired by the book inquired about a blog. I'm pretty sure it didn't quite go as it was planned, but here I am embarking on the journey (even though technically the idea was directed at moi. 80 days to get around the world: how do I do it?My first thought when I think about this, is eighty days: that's like the jet lag that

President Spencer W. Kimball said that we should look for a spouse that reaches as near the pinnacle of perfection as we can find. But how do we know if we're being too picky.Clearly only one person has ever achieved the status of perfection, but all the rest of us fall short, often very short. I wouldn't even begin to imagine what sins or mistakes Nephi must have made, and yet he exclaimed "Oh

I was surprised. A friend told me she thought I could talk to anyone. I didn't know what to say. Ironic I know, but I was speechless. Talking has never been my strong suit. I mean I get nervous around people, well I used to. I still do somewhat, but I guess I never noticed how much I have changed.I remember in high school, it wasn't my strength back then.And then when I went on my mission, I

There seems to be a lot of ugly girls. It's true, everywhere I turn I hear "I'm not pretty." or "I'll break your camera." or "I hate to be in pictures." Now I hear these things because I take a lot of pictures, both because of my church assignments, and for my own personal memories. But not only when I'm taking pictures, I hear it all the time. Seriously though, how come everybody is so UGLY?I

I'm pretty sure that's my life.sometimes it's pretty annoying,but everything seems to happen at the same time.I'm just waiting for the scene where some guy calls out follow him,and then I get suspicious, and he calls out peel off,and everyone peels off.

Last night was a historic first. For the first time in the history of our great nation, an African-American accepted the presidential nomination of one of the major political parties of our country. More than 80,000 people packed into a stadium, and millions more tuned in at home, to participate in this historic event; but for some there was an event of far more significance.Last week there was

I has often been noted, that some of my blogs that people look forward to most are the ones that talk about my social life.
