Brian went on a trip with Larry out to California and back. Bekah's been out on the truck with Dad; they went to Oregon and back. I have a 5 day weekend starting tomorrow, will work 3 days next week and then take a 4 day weekend to go to the church campout.

Driving home with the kids this afternoon and Bekah asks, "Daddy, what's a lesbian?" *CHOKE* Yeah... I deferred that one to Staci!

Nightvision Festival

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:36:44 -0700

We spent most all day Friday and Saturday at the Nightvision Festival in Olathe. Nightvision is a FREE, 2 day long, Christian Music festival. There were also Christian comedians (Tim... awesome!), a Christian illusionist (Tim... awesome!), and all kinds of other stuff. In Olathe! And I'm not talking about local Christian worship musician's, though there were some of those in the afternoon if you wanted to check them out. No, I'm talking about Superchic[k], Leeland, Kirk Franklin, Mandisa, and MercyMe! IN OLATHE!!! Awesome. Tiring... but awesome. I think we'll spend today laying around doing as little as possible to recover. Oh, and it is official... my kids can sleep anywhere!

Fourteen

Ok, maybe it's time to try posting a little bit again. Thursday was Staci & I's 14th wedding anniversary. Believe me when I tell you that we're all kinds of proud of ourselves! :-) We didn't do much, just dinner and a movie. We went up to Grand Junction to enjoy our favorite restaurant (Olive Garden) and then went to the 14 screen theater to see Hancock. Yeah, I know, not a very romantic movie choice, but one that we both wanted to see, so it was perfect. Besides, $9 each kinda sucks any romance out of the experience that there might have been! Anyway... here's to 41 more!

the end?

Until I can post with my Rock Band drum kit, I'm pretty much done here. :-) I'm sure this hiatus won't last forever (it never does), but it's been a month since my last post and I honestly haven't missed it. And from the feedback I've gotten - which is to say, NONE - neither have you! Haha!! If you need to, you can find me on tour across the country as the drummer for The O.G. AND Sàlvádôr, or as the lead singer for The Sexual Overtones. Peace. Out.

This just might be the coolest thing ever! (after rock band of course, which i'm totally addicted to)

sad day

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 13:48:31 -0700

It's a sad day when Mariah Carey has more #1 songs than Elvis. Not only that, but she's second only to The Beatles, and only trailing by two! Sad, sad, sad . . .

Farmer Scott and Farmer Brian did some ditch burning today! You know... it can hardly be classified as work when you're having that much fun. heh-heh

... in which we prattle on for 8 1/2 minutes about Good Luck Chuck, the new Battlestar Galactica, and 3:10 to Yuma, while Staci is making waffles. :-D Enjoy!

(semi) healthy eating

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:11:58 -0700

It never ceases to amaze me that, given the choice, my kids will choose a healthy cereal over a sugary one AT LEAST half of the time. Wheaties, Chex, Crispix, and Raison Bran are on level ground with Lucky Charms, CoCo Puffs, Fruit Loops, and Golden Puffs. It's times like these that I think maybe, just MAYBE, we're not complete failures as parents. :-)

Check out our new truck! Seriously. I'm not even kidding!

There's quite a story behind this, but you'll have to wait until later. Maybe I can get Staci to write it up on her page. Oh! Speaking of Staci... check her out!

garfield and news

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:18:40 -0700

There hasn't been a whole lot of time for surfing the Net lately, but I happened to follow a couple of links from Penny Arcade today that I thought I might share. Lasagna Cat and Garfield minus Garfield Lasagna Cat is reeling from the hit a server takes whenever linked from PA (heh-heh) but I did manage to sneak through eventually. Interesting, in a disturbing sort of way... The last comic on the G-G page absolutely killed me! Now, THE really big news ( in my world ) that's been ongoing this year is the end of the high definition DVD format war. In January, Warner Bros. went Bluray exclusive, and after that the dominoes started to fall! Microsoft, Netflix, Wal-Mart, one by one they all started ditching HD DVD, until finally Toshiba pulled the plug ( here's another toshiba story ). I'll admit that I was an HD DVD supporter, and for 2 reasons. One, HD DVD hardware was better priced for the cost conscious consumer. And two, I hate Sony. That being said, I have to admit that my first Bluray DVD player will most likely end up being a PlayStation 3, the console I formerly swore never to own. My how things change!

Tonight we watched Becoming Jane with Pastor Campbell and Heidi. Afterward we recorded some of our conversation about the movie. If you'd care to listen, it's about 5 1/2 minutes long (5MB).

Here's a little movie rewiew that Stac & I recorded for Hero. If you're interested, it's about 3 1/2 minutes long and a little over 3MB. Let us know what you think.
