Summer 2010 Academic

I don’t think I have posted in a little over a month. You can’t imagine how much work 4 courses over the summer semester is. They really make the credits the equivalent of a 5 month course. Imagine all the reading, all the writing, all the research and all the studying of a 5 month [...]

If the Spirit tells you to do something, just do it

I did it, but I was timid when I knew I needed to be stern. I was afraid of hurting feelings, and I was afraid I might be wrong, and I was afraid I was overstepping boundaries. As a direct result, a young man’s life is changed forever, and not for the good. I can’t [...]

All Men are Pedophiles!

You probably remember my post about being some kid’s carnival/festival and needing to go to the bathroom. The bathrooms were packed and so I snagged a teenaged girl and her friend coming out of the women’s restroom and asked them if they would watch Seporah and Felicity for a few minutes while I went to [...]

National Guard at the range

So I just qualified at the range on a SAW (big gun) for the first time.  The range is so laid back here.  As I was firing I heard music to my left and music to my right as guardsmen rocked to their phones and ipods while they fired.  We only had to wear helmets [...]

80′s music is gone…

I don’t really remember the 80′s. I grew up in the 90′s. But my father loved 70′s and 80′s music, and he got me hooked at a very young age. I just call it all 80′s music though, as I don’t always actually know the difference as I wasn’t alive in the 70′s. In any [...]

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I know time is a scarce resource for many of us these days but I just finished this book and you need to make time for it. I have read two serious biographies of President Lincoln and neither told his story so fluidly and enjoyably. And let there be no doubt, this is in fact [...]

makakilo ward antics

I go to church at one of the Makakilo wards on drill weekends and it never fails to entertain.  Something crazy always happens.  Today a newly married couple moved into the ward and got to speak and do their introductions and all that.  So this girl gets up and I swear she isn’t a day [...]

Saturdays are fun with Mom

Märia had yesterday off which is pretty rare for a Saturday. It happened to coincide with the Baby Expo which happens every year down in Honolulu. It is something like a big carnival for expecting mothers. But they have things for children and mothers of children all the way up to 3 or 4. Seporah [...]

Seporah’s performance on video from a cellphone

Seporah is right in the middle in green, but to see her you pretty much have to make it full screen. Enjoy!

It should be illegal for finals week to coincide with Mother’s Day

I am pretty good about sending flowers and cards and all that jazz.  Really, I am.  But I never had to think about it during finals week, and lets just say my brain is fried right now, so Mom will have to forgive me and accept this poor post as a remembrance of her special [...]
