Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Ptarmigan Birds. They're a part of our every day life. They greet us in the morning with their cute little chirps (or maybe their annoying, never ending cries). They fly above us and we search the trees to spot them or their nests and those precious eggs. Sometimes they poop on us. Birds are these…
Shari and I walked around Sloan's Lake for the first time this past weekend. I've lived here for 9 years and had never been. I've driven by it, sure, but for some reason I had never taken the time to specifically visit and walk the park. I had been missing out. A 2.5 mile sidewalk…

In honor of Shari and I dating for 6 months, we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at the park on Thursday. I told Shari I would celebrate 6 months and then year marks after that. So we made ourselves some sandwiches and brought out some tasty onion chips and chopped strawberries and sat at…

Spring is in the air (maybe) and for many people that means it's time to start planning out your flower beds!
