6-27 Bathroom

OK...It is not my bathroom. And. It is not real. And. It is better around St. Patrick's Day than the 4th of July. But it is funny and I like it.

6-25 Cute

OK...So none of the males in this picture are cute. But this was the first time we went to a UofU football game and we were pretty excited. It took a bit for Melissa to get the picture right, but we think this one was the best. I love the under eye stickers we found at Dick's Sporting Goods. We watched the Utes play against Arizona State...I think we lost. Who cares. We oozed testosterone and had man fun.

6-23 Motion

OK...So the picture doesn't really show motion, but the two mascots, Bumble and Therm, almost caused motion...The motion of leaving the game. Not so much Bumble, but Therm, that is one creepy looking mascot. We were given tickets to the game tonight, that the Bees promptly decided they didn't want to win. They got a great run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but gave up three in the second. The third they came back and scored two, tying the game at three. the next inning they had two outs and the pitcher pitched himself into a corner putting three men on base then giving up a grand slam home run. At that point, the game was pretty much over. Ashton had to work, so we left in the top of the eighth inning and the Bees were trailing 9-4. If I missed a great comeback, oh well. But I think that we missed nothing.

6-20 Favorite Picture

None of the pictures on this page were taken by me, but I am a subject in one. This is from an article in All Hands, a magazine that was published while I was in the US Navy between 1979 and 1986. These pictures were taken and the article was written in 1982 while NMCB-3 was deployed to Camp Shields in Okinawa. Near the end, we were hosts for the Pearl S. Buck Foundation. We threw a party, bar-b-que and had an overall good time with these Amerasian children. It took me a while to find this article and I am glad that I did. I was very proud of my battalion and the US Navy to do such a great act of charity for these children.

6-18 Something We Don't Know About You

In 1987 I was bored and wanted to learn something new. I chose scuba diving. I took all of the lessons, both classroom and pool. I went to Lake Powell and got my Open Water Certification. Then I went to Bear Lake and got my Advanced Open Water Certification. Believe it or not, that was the last scuba dive I did. Never pursued it again. Wish I would have but that is an expensive sport and I couldn't travel because I didn't have the money. So I spent time and money for something I never pursued.

6-17 What's In The Bag

Today is Father's Day. At church the Primary gave fathers treats...My choice M&Ms. Then each of the Primary children made ties to give to their dad...Trail Mix. I love them both and I love being a dad. Thanks Melissa for making me a dad.

Steel Curtain Rising: Tomczak to be Pittsburgh (Power) Offensive Coordinator

Steel Curtain Rising: Tomczak to be Pittsburgh (Power) Offensive Coordinator

I remember Mike Tomczak and was glad to have him as the back up for Neil O'Donnell and Kordell Stewart.  I, too, thought he would end up as a coach and I am glad that the Pittsburgh Power will have him.  Maybe he can be a head coach some day.
