more politics…
So, I posted a video recently with Obama and Biden being grilled by a reporter on 60 Minutes. In the interest of balancing the debate, here are two videos from an interview of Sarah Palin by Charlie Gibson.: Part 1 Part 2 Watch them and then watch the Obama/Biden video and think about who you…

Learning Styles
As we prepared for classes this summer, we were asked to prepare information in one of our classes on “learning styles” as well as Myers-Briggs personality tests. I’ve long been skeptical of these ideas, so I did a little digging with Debi. Below is what we found. We wrote a report to give to the…

A Republican sees poverty?
It’s kind of amazing, but for all you Republican supporters out there, you should check this article out. One of your own is telling you that Republicans need to do something about inequality if they want to stay in power.

just, just watch him for a minute…
I really do try to stay away from politics on my blog, but I’m not always successful. And considering the election is getting closer and closer every day (about 2 months out now), I figured it was time for a short political blurb. I caught this interview with Barack Obama on 60 Minutes Sunday and…

highpointing page update
I’m buried with the start of school, but I did finally find a few minutes to put the finishing touches on a new flash-based interactive map to detail my highpointing adventures. You can see and interact with the new map here. If you find any problems, typos, etc., let me know. If you think it’s…

Trip Wrap-up
We made it back to Tampa Tuesday, the 19th, but not without a little trouble. We were scheduled to fly back from Utah on Tuesday, but we were supposed to arrive in Tampa Tuesday night around 10pm, which was exactly when Fay was supposed to hit Tampa (at least, that was the projection Monday afternoon).…

Colorado City and Home
Our trip to Southern Utah was pretty short, just 3 days. My in-laws wanted to see the Shakespearean festival (though Cyrano de Bergerac is not by Shakespeare), Zion National Park, and Les Miserables. I suggested Mountain Meadows and one other stop: Colorado City. For those not familiar with Colorado City, Arizona, it’s a town literally…

Zion National Park and Les Miserables at Tuacahn
On the second day of our trip to Southern Utah we got up fairly early and headed out from St. George to Zion National Park, which is about 45 minutes away. Debi’s parents had been to the park about 35 years earlier, but neither Debi or I had ever been. I wasn’t sure what to…

Shakespeare Festival and Mountain Meadows
We left around 8:30 for a trip to Southern Utah with Debi’s parents. We stopped at La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant and Cantina for lunch, drove around Cedar City for a bit, then stopped at the ticket office to pick up our tickets for the matinee performance of Cyrano de Bergerac. We had a little time…

Lake Powell – day 6
This was our last day at Lake Powell. Traditionally we get up and basically just pack up and leave. Not having learned from the previous day, I decided to go skiing again. This time it was Mark, Kristen, Corbin, Jake, and Carson. Mark and Kristen skiied first, then I went. I got up fine, but…
