One year older and wiser, too...

In a never-ending venture to make each birthday unique, how do you follow up last year?


I mean, you only get to have random BYU freshmen join in throwing your wife a birthday just once.



Well, I'm still not sure. Hopefully we're getting close, though.


Yesterday we celebrated Elise's 23rd birthday. I still consider myself the Luckiest man to be her husband, and in my feeble efforts to make breakfast and find some wonderful gifts for her, I hope she enjoyed her birthday as much as she so rightfully deserves.


Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

And winter returns with a vengence...

Spring was nice while it lasted. However, a Nor'easter has hit and snow has dumped on our area. Winter is definitely back.

The view from our balcony, and it is still coming down.
When I opened the back door, this is what I found and more tried to come inside while I took pictures. I already miss the touch of spring we had last week.

On the plus side - I get my first real "SNOW DAY" - not just the two-hour delay support staff usually gets. What shall I do on this unexpected day off?
