The Season is Over

Tonight was Justin's last game! His Little League team (the Phillies) finished the year 5-4-3 - a good double play and not a bad record for 7-9 year olds! Team party this weekend at Sky Sox game!

They're Closer!!!

Just saw that In-N-Out has opened a store in Washington City, UT!!! That's just north of St. George, in the Southwest corner of Utah. It's only 611 miles from Colorado Springs. 11 short hours! It's just a matter of time!

Operation Chaos

Was Rush crazy to start this? As a conservative, I can not stand the thought of a Clinton holding political office. NEVER, EVER, EVER vote for a Clinton. But I have to say, it is working. We've seen a lot of skeletons come out of Obama's closet and Hillary's looking like she's too stupid to get out (to the tune of nearly 8 million of her own money!) or too arrogant to realize that someone else could win. In either case, the next six months should be interesting.

Of Sod and Facebook

The yard is finished! We brought in (and spread) 14 tons of topsoil on Saturday and yesterday we installed 1500 square feet of sod! More on that in a future post. In the meantime, we had our Youth Pastor over on Friday and he was trying to convince us to sign up on Facebook. What do you think?

Colorado, Oklahoma, Rhode Island

I've known Paul since he was 11. His parents are some of our dearest friends, as evidenced by the fact that we visited them when they moved from Colorado to Oklahoma and then Rhode Island. And now I want to introduce you to one of Paul's great gifts. Check out Paul's incredible talent as a photographer.

National Radio Hall of Fame

The National Radio Hall of Fame is conducting its voting for this years class. If you would like to participate, simply go here and register. It's simple and free. In addition to a few famous people, I noticed others I have heard in Los Angeles and Colorado Springs. Thanks for your participation.

It's Just a Little Felony

For 34 years, Susan LeFevre lived a lie. According to a Foxnews.com AP report, LeFevre walked away from prison after only serving one year of her 10 to 20 year prison sentence. That's the felony. She was tracked down recently, living under an assumed name in San Diego county. The quote from her husband explains a lot about how the victim mentality is so prevalent in our society. "Our family is threatened to be destroyed by something that happened to her as a 19-year-old teenager 34 years ago in Michigan." It "happened to her"? Not only did she commit a crime, it was serious enough to warrant a 10 to 20 year sentence! On top of that, she didn't serve her time! Sadly, her husband (Alan Walsh) and their children will suffer significant consequences of her choices - to commit crimes and try to hide that from her spouse. It makes you wonder how they got married without Mr. Walsh having a conversation with her parents.

Tulowitzki Pulls Up Lame

In a demoralizing turn of events, the Colorado Rockies lost ROY candidate Troy Tulowitzki to a groin injury. He'll be out for an unspecified amount of time. In a strange twist of fate, the Rockies actually won the game 3-2 over the Giants because of Tulo's replacement. 2nd baseman Clint Barmes moved to Shortstop for Tulo. 3rd baseman Garret Atkins moved to 2nd base and backup catcher Chris Ianetta moved to 3rd. 15 minutes later, Ianetta hits a homerun in his first at bat and later hit a double and scored the winning run on a balk! Could this be the beginning of a turnaround for the Rocks? And while I'm on the subject of sports - don't forget to vote for your Rockies All-Stars! Go to MLB.com to vote! Go Rocks!

Ethanol - The Bad and the Ugly

While I don't know a ton about Ethanol (except that they stick it in my gas during the winter and it drives the price up as they change the mix at the refinery), I've read a couple of good blog pieces on this. One at boundless.org and one at cameronmoore.com.

What'll You Have?

When you go to In-N-Out for lunch what do you order? When I was younger I always ordered a Double-Double Animal Style, Fries and a Dr Pepper. Now I just get a Cheeseburger Animal Style, Crispy Fries and a Dr Pepper. How about you?
