Utah trip – the 24th
Thursday we did a little more vacationing – we went to the Golden Spike monument at Promontory Point near Brigham City. Rosemary, Jeanne, and I had not been there, neither had some of the other people who went with this (Scott, Shalynn, Gary, and Debi). We didn’t know it when we planned the trip, but…

Utah trip – the 23rd
Wednesday we did go hiking. We got up early and headed to Brighton with Scott and Shalynn to do a 4 ½ mile hike to three lakes. The initial part of the trail is a little steep, but once you get up to the first lake, things level out considerably and the views become very…

Utah trip – the 22nd
Tuesday was another lazy day. We had originally considered going hiking this day as well, but things didn’t work out for that, so we lounged around. We did do one interesting thing. I found a $30 gift certificate to Standard Optical Debi received about 20 years ago for good grades in school. As there wasn’t…

Utah trip – the 21st
Monday we adopted our “vacation” mentality. Before coming out to Utah Debi and I decided that because we regularly came out to Utah we were going to try to turn it into a vacation for us, doing things most people in Utah take for granted or never do. Basically we wanted to treat the trip…

Utah trip – the 20th
Sunday we wanted to go to a play, Saturday’s Voyeur, but it was sold out and we couldn’t get tickets. So, Debi and I spent the day kind of lounging until the early afternoon then headed up to my parents’ house for dinner. Most of my siblings where there and we were able to plan…

Utah trip – the 19th
Saturday was basically all about Suzy’s shower. We got up early and went shopping for food and other shower-related supplies. We picked up a ton of food (including meat trays and such), then I dropped Debi and Shalynn off to get that stuff arranged while I went shopping for a few other things. We spent…

Utah trip – the 18th
We flew into Utah on Friday, the 18th, arriving around noon. We lounged around most of the first day, then went to Subway with Steve, Suzy, and Mike, one of Steve’s close friends. We then rented RV and watched that; it was surprisingly funny.

What would a trip out of town be…
… without a little social commentary? As my previous post mentioned, I spent last week in Columbus filming the butter sculpture for the American Dairy Association. While on the fairgrounds I was privy to some of the things taking place there. There were horse shows going on the entire week. Having less than no interest…

butter sculpting at the Ohio State Fair
I was out of town most of last week filming a project. Over the last three years or so I maintained a simple website offering to transfer VHS tapes to DVD for people (I’ve since taken the site down). Through that site I met a sculptor, Bob, who leads a team of toy sculptors to…

greetings from North Carolina
Our friends in Winston-Salem, NC recently had a baby (about 6 weeks ago). Debi desperately wanted to see the baby and it had been a while since we had gotten together to visit, so we decided to head down for a quick weekend getaway. We left Friday afternoon and are heading back Sunday afternoon. We’re…
