    Tuesday evening, Reagan’s parents drove us to Kolob Canyon, which is in the northern end of Zion’s National Park. It is only about 20 minutes from where they live. It would be a spectacular sight under any circumstances. But, the way it was lit up in the evening, with the patchy clouds, and contrasting trees/snow,…

    It has been a pretty amazing seven days. We have had a blast hanging out with our families. Monday night we took a trip to the Cedar City bowling alley. Reagan’s parents took us bowling with her brother and sister-in-law. The shot above was Reagan’s idea, since one of the best parts about bowling is…

    Yes yes. How many times have I thrown up photos like this one before? Right? As I mentioned earlier this week, my Nike Plus sportband died on me, again. This is the third time it has happened. My cousin Liz suggested that I just abandon the sportband and go with the Garmin. I am almost…

    [photo: Brian Mohr for The New York Times] Nothing makes me miss the homeland, like when a national paper runs these kind of articles. Today the NY Times ran this article about Powder Mountain Resort. The author, Stephen Regenold (a two planker), spends the entire article rubbing in my face, all of the spring powder…

    I haven’t even had a chance to sit down at the computer this weekend. I probably still won’t, until later today. But I couldn’t wait any longer to express my elation about the U of U football victory last night.That is why I’m being forced to post this not-so-great picture of us watching the game…

    I promise, this will be the last post about college football until Nov. 22, or thereabouts. Not to belabor the point, but last night was a pretty exciting game, for having such an incredibly low score. Both teams exhibited some seriously impressive defense.
