Yahoo! News – First Dutch Cannabis Cafe Marks 30th Anniversary – Happy birthday! Or perhaps I should say…CONGRATULATIONS! In other news, I just spent the past two hours scanning every single photo in our wedding photo album, only to discover that the scanner settings were messed up and every picture looks like total crap. Oh… Continue reading Untitled

In other news, Beth is in Kansas City this week for the funeral of her aunt. She was originally planning to go to Arizona all Thanksgiving week as part of the Traditional Support Caravan. But we got news on Friday (after the truck was loaded with 800 pounds of flour) of her aunt’s death. So… Continue reading Untitled

I came across this article in the Rocky Mountain News this morning, talking about a proposal to ban smoking in restaurants and bars in Denver. Of course there’s an outcry about it, and I thought to myself… This is all so predictable! We’ve seen this same sequence of events in every city that proposes an… Continue reading here we go again – smoking ban in Denver restaurants and bars

Intuitor Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics – Ever notice how many cars in movies blow up as soon as (or even just prior to the instant) they hit the bottom of the canyon when plunging off the highway? Me, too. And the person who made this website also has noticed.

Yahoo! News – Bin Laden Seen Alive and Kicking with New Tape – Beth and I watched the special edition DVD of “The Princess Bride” last weekend.

I just uploaded a bunch of photos from my 1985 summer vacation in Europe. You can see them here. They were originally taken on 110 format slides, but I just had those slides scanned by a great company in Utah.

Well, it’s Wednesday night. Last Friday I drove to western Colorado right after work to join my father for the once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip. He was hunting for a desert bighorn sheep. I met him and my brother Kent for dinner at a mediocre restaurant and stayed the night at the house of my cousin Deb.… Continue reading Untitled
