– I’ve learned who LeBron James is. – My iPod mysteriously stopped working. – So did my deodorant.  (??) – I hooked up Greta and Kristy as friends.  Thinking about going into matchmaking full-time.  If you need a friend in a certain area of the country, tell me – I’ll take care of you. –…

On Friday morning, my dad and I left at 4am and drove for over 2 hours to hike for 6 and see only one other person all day.  It’s a very, very thin slice of the world’s population who will ever stand where we were on Friday – between the remote location and the 4-wheel…

What’s that, you say?  Can a MAN bear the title of BOSOM friend? Yes.  Mostly because I want to make the Google search “Rod Jones’ bosom” yield results.  (You’re welcome, Rod.) Rod is truly one of my favorite people in the world.  We met back in March of 2009 when I interviewed him as the…

Monday was a paid holiday, and I am taking tomorrow and Friday off.  That makes this a 2 day work week, and today my Friday.  Amen. I’m not very good at “vacation.”  I travel a lot, and use every minute of the (very generous) vacation time that I am given – but I never take…

As we waited for the sun to sink in the west, 4-year old Kate asked me why the fireworks hadn’t started yet. “Because,” I explained, “the sky is still light.  The sun needs to travel all the way to California before it will be dark.” I felt proud of my explanation – until little Annabelle…

For the inaugural edition of (Bosom) Friend Fridays, the featured friend would need to be sparkling.  Dazzling.  A real Halley’s Comet of a human being.  And when you think of it that way, there is really only one bombshell of a choice: Melissa Moen. [If you’re wondering if I am always going to be in…

Name the 10 countries in the world whose names are made up of 4 letters. (Now, of course, you might use the Internet to cheat and pretend like you just knew them off the top of your head.  But if I were you, I’d rather go to heaven.)

Let’s pretend that there’s a girl. She’s a nice girl with a lot of friends, and at least moderately interesting. She has hobbies. She has a creative mind. Some might even find her pretty. She is independent, a la Kelly Clarkson and Destiny’s Child – a rent check in one hand and a glass of…

When I first saw a copy of Jakob Dylan’s new album, “Women and Country,” I was immediately intrigued. I mean, come on – look at the cover. Even better, check out the cover of his EP, the precursor to the full record. Based on these two pictures, this is the coolest man alive. And this…

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog series. In fact, I think the last series I did was A-Z.  Who’s been reading since the A-Z days?  Anyone? Awwww.  Bless your hearts.  Both of you. I want to do another series – mostly because choosing a theme keeps me focused, and narrows down a topic. …
