Did you think I really died? Actually, the Yeti and family just returned from a 5 day stint in Liberty Lake, Washington (right near the Idaho / Washington border). Nice views, huh? We visited some people there who were interested in learning about yak herding. I happen to be a self-proclaimed North American expert on…

Blogging after midnight is just plain stupid. Especially when I have two alarm clocks that go off at seven (or earlier) every morning (rain or shine, power outage or not.) I keep telling myself this is the last time…just one more minute and I’m done forever, but then I keep thinking, writing, and coming back…

The other day Christa discovered one of the negative ways I have been subliminally influencing her and simultaneously corrupting our verbose 3 year old, Anna. The technique I employ is to sing really bad (i.e. cheesy) songs from the 80s and 90s while doing various domestic activities. Inevitably, these serenades often enter the bloodstream and…

This is an interchange I heard between two ladies entering the cafeteria at my work yesterday: Lady A: Do you have any aspirin? Lady B: All I have is aspirin aspirin. Do you want some of that? Lady A: Yeah, that’s OK. Think we live in a specialized society when aspirin is used as its…
