18 JulThe Clarinet

Note: I played the clarinet in high school. After 45 years I’ve picked it up again and am finding a lot of joy in making music. The following are my thoughts on the clarinet. The clarinet is a humble instrument. You rarely find it center stage as you will the piano, violin, or cello. Perhaps […]

07 NovA BYU Nobody

I’m a proud BYU Graduate. Over three decades ago I graduated with an MA in English. I still remember the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment I felt at graduation. I was never a star pupil and received no honors on that jubilant day, but I felt worthy. I’ve had my ups and downs as far as […]

30 SepToday I Am a Hero

I’ve never understood the amount of laundry we do at our house. My wife will proudly announce that she’s done “eight loads today.” She may announce this several times during the week. Do we really have that much laundry? I seem to remember hearing of other households having a laundry “day.” I can’t imagine doing […]

20 AugWhy Doth the Cow Sing?

My house is at the edge of town near a road that leads to two canyons in the mountains just to the east. The road is exactly one mile long and slightly up hill. It’s a great road for walking. On either side of the road are hayfields. Between the fields and me are barbed […]

18 MayThe Man-Truck Police

I’m the artsy type living in a cowboy community.  It’s a great little community here as long as you remember your place. I respect their tough cowboy ways and they let me be artistic. We got along fine until I got my pickup truck. You need to understand; down here trucks are for the tough […]

15 MayThe Burning of the Burley Junior High School

            Although each child is an individual, children as a group have common dreams. They dream of superpowers and wonder which power would be best. Could Cyclops beat Wolverine? How about Batman against Superman? Children dream of what they would pick if they could have any wish. Should it be all the money in the […]

10 MayHolding Hands with a Stranger

I grew up skinny. I remember as a high school senior getting measurements for a band uniform and my pant measurements were 30” x 30”. These measurements were in spite of frequent Hostess-Os binges where I would eat all six powder-sugar coated, raspberry-jelly filled donuts in a box in one sitting. I would dunk them […]

07 MayOn Becoming My Dad

Anyone old enough to be married with children knows the joke, “ . . . and that’s when I realized I sounded just like my dad (or mom).” Some of you know what I mean—you hear yourself say to your son or daughter, “winners don’t quit,” or “no dessert until you eat your vegetables” and […]

30 AprAfter Eight Kids, My Baby Turned Seventeen

Some of you may be able to imagine what an adventure raising eight children is. From my first baby born on Keesler Airforce Base thirty-six years ago to my last baby born at home twenty years later, the fun has never ended.

18 DecOri and the Will of the Wisps

I’m a dad who raised eight children. I introduced my first children to computer games back in the early 90’s; however, I never played them much myself. Recently, now that I’m a grandpa six times over, I decided to become a gamer. Ori and the Will of the Wisps was the first platform game I’ve […]
