A Winner Is You 2

A Winner Is You

"Free is a very competitive price." That's been one of my catchphrases for a while now and rare are the occasions where it isn't true. This past week proved it in spades. I travel quite a bit for work and...

Tots on a Plane 12

Tots on a Plane

I think that flying is meant to be uncomfortable by design. You cram 150+ strangers into a metal tube with recirculated air and barely enough room to shift in your seat, hoping that nothing goes wrong at you soar through...

New Album: Zion National Park, Mother's Day 2008

I know, Mother's Day was 2 weeks ago. Shauna had to do quite a bit of touch-up to get these ready for primetime, and her Photoshop skills far outweigh mine. Go check out the new album for yourself for lots...

Pictures from Italy, Round 1: Venice

Restaurant Roundup: Ames, IA

The Midwest solidly earned its reputation for harsh winters. After just a few days in Iowa, I can see that Utahns have it rather easy. We usually don’t have that kind of cold until mid-January and only for a few...

We're Back!

Just a quick update that we're back from Italy. We'll be posting pictures and other stuff once we're not so stinking tired. And if you want the Reader's Digest version, it was awesome.
