The thing I’ve really been able to appreciate about the screwy economy is the fact that there seems to have been a collective turn in this country to ever-forgotten principles of self-reliance. I love that the times ran an article about canning. I love that I see manhattanites clipping coupons and planting gardens. [...]
I just wanted to clarify that I’m not actually discouraged by the economic situation we find ourselves in. The next few years will be tough, but admittedly it might prove more difficult for other people than for myself. I might get really slow at work which is my great fear, but it’s not [...]
So… 2008… it’s been weird my friends.
I think all the political news and the economic talk as been getting to me lately. A couple nights ago I had this weird dream that I was in the inner circles of McCain and Obama. Obama had been getting a lot of flack over request [...]
I wanted to give a little update on some goings on in our little branch. A few weeks ago we had our first Branch Temple Trip to the Manhattan Temple. I think we almost doubled our current temple recommend holders in about a week. Of course, when you have such a small [...]
So far, Rick’s birthday preparations are going swimmingly. We bought a backpack for me. Then a sleeping bag for me. Then starting thinking about buying a new lens… for me.

There are two things that I found remarkable about this website.
1. [...]

We found out a few days ago that Rick’s younger sister, Dochiny is expecting her 2nd baby. Congratulations to her and Derek!
I was riding the train into the city this morning and was completely buoyed up by the weather. A little overcast, but I feel the great thaw has begun. It put me in a [...]
It’s been a nice 5 months with just the two of us, but the time for us to start a family has come. With great joy we would like to announce the newest member of our family, Laser Saw. It was a sunny, Saturday morning at Lowes Home Improvement, when this little bundle of joy [...]
