I'm Glad I'm Not Crazy.
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I've got to start off here on a postive note, or I'll bring up all sorts of crappy emotions which I'd just rather not get into right now. I'm sure they'll be brought up sooner or later, but for now, I'd like for you to just take a moment and sup in the absolute goodness found in the photograph on your right.
Yeah... Just ...

2007 Monterey Trip - Day 6
PoeticIntensity
Okay... It had to happen, and it happened today. Since this is a public entry, and I really don't want to throw a negative light on the situation, I'll do my best to filter out my emotions. If I have to vomit emotions, I'll do it in private. Anyway...
This morning, I woke up and Kim (my dear mother-in-law) decided to make ...

Old Fisherman's Grotto
PoeticIntensity
We just got back from a wonderful dinner at The Old Fisherman's Grotto on Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey California.
The halibut was quite wonderful, but not nearly as good as the side-dish of clam chowder I got. It really was fantastic.
If you're ever in Monterey, CA, you simply have to get a bowl of that chowder. It's quite amazing....

2007 Monterey Trip - Day 5

Today's not over, but while the kids are taking naps, I thought I'd see what I could do to write about this day so far.
First off - I *love* Monterey. Last night, I don't think I got a whole lot of sleep, but notwithstanding that, I still woke up in an incredibly good mood due to the crisp salty air, the perfect temperature (around 60-68 deg...

Both times, both my heart and my eyes were fille...

Necessity of Church Membership

An interesting question came to me today, while talking to a good friend at work. The question is simple.
It’s based on the premise of two distinct beliefs.
1. LDS faith teaches us that unless the proper ordinances have been performed by those who are in authority to perform such ordinances, one cannot enter into the kingdom of heav...

Clockwork vs Groove

From the first memories I have, my life has been lived through rhythm. There has always been an inherent "groove" of my life.
