Happy Pioneer Day. And before you jump to the conclusion that I’m gonna share some Funderful insight about Brigham Young and his connection to Utah, let me assure you.

Just plain pelican facts. That’s what they are. Don’t need to make it any more complicated than that. And they’re not dry, scientific bits of information. Far from it. Here’s what I’m talking about.

And supposedly it’ll rival the size of Dizzy’s Tragic Kingdom. And a … Read the rest…

Plus, all you gotta do, to know that’s true, is take a good look at what Jesus did for us. Yeah, that’s true love. So, why do I have to go and mess all … Read the rest…

And my trusty MacBook will serve as my traveler journal to record what I discover along the way. Oh, I guess I should clarify. I’m talkin’ about the signposts along the … Read the rest…
In a way, you could say that life requires the incrementalism approach. Because you’re not born knowing everything you’ll know or how to do everything you’ll do. And you don’t learn calculus and geometry in first grade. And you don’t start on black diamond ski trails. So, life is a series of steps. Each one leading to the next. And so on. But certain … Read the rest…
