One of my dad’s sayings when I was young was “If you pull another stunt like that…” and some type of age-appropriate consequence was named. The bad part was he often didn’t mention which stunt he was talking about. Throughout my life, my risk/reward analysis system of decision making has been lopsided toward the rewardContinue reading “Stunt Double”

Invasive Maneuvers
Yesterday I wanted to invade another world. I meticulously planned it out (that means I finally found my go pro camera) and gathered my ice fishing stuff together for the invasion.

Stoked
I know, it’s like a bird taking a flying leap… When 2 people love deeply, they stoke each other’s fires. Ahh…2nd honeymoon.

Bring Your (Good) Camera
Yes, I totally understand if you skip my ramblings and go straight to the pictures. Life Lessons: Learned the easy way. I have a brother who claims he has learned most of the painful life lessons by watching his older brothers and then not doing that.

Life Spice With a Hint of Eternity
Spice. a small dose is usually best. As in food, life needs spice or it gets quite bland. So, I went fishing (so I could sample some fathers day spices on fish). I highly recommend this life spice (and the seasoning was great too). Then, I heard about a huge patch of Lady Slippers nearbyContinue reading “Life Spice With a Hint of Eternity”
