Personal reflections on my life and experiences.
Good morning. It was a good weekend, although much of Saturday could be taken off the books. Friday night, Sagebrush Highland had a swim party at the Highland High pool, and we had a great turnout. Games were played, prizes were given, and seven people were baptized. One gal wasn’t even planning to be...
Read more →It was rough getting up this morning at 5:45 when the alarm went off. I was in such a deep sleep and dreaming that it took me a few moments to realize it was going off. Even then, my body didn’t want to move. Kurt, my running buddy, felt the same way getting up...
Read more →Tonight I had great experience with a couple from my small group, and another friend from my dance group and church. I have mentioned the husband of the couple before, but they need a better introduction. Both he and his wife are amazing people. Anyways, they had myself and our friend Gwen over for...
Read more →On Monday night at my small group, we dove in a little into Acts when it was generically asked, “What in your reading stood out to you?” To try and highlight life changing concepts from a summary reading of the 28 chapters of the book is a challenge. Still, some interesting thoughts were shared....
Read more →Tonight was a much more productive night than last night- I actually had some energy. And I felt a little better than this morning. After work, I stopped by Smith’s to pick up some groceries, and ended up with pretty much all fruits and vegetables. After last weekend with all of its sugars and...
Read more →It’s about 10 AM this morning, and I am back at work after an extended weekend. I feel pretty much today like the sky was this morning when I got up: dark, a bit on the cold side, and partly cloudy with a decent chance of precipitation. Sometimes for me, it’s simply a fight...
Read more →Yesterday, my folks, my bro and his family, and myself trekked up to Denver to see our Pummel aunt, uncle, cousins, and our cousin Darci for the weekend (reason forthcoming). The drive up was quiet. Once we got up here, we all collected at Jer and Amy’s and then broke up to run some...

Read more →It was a pretty good day today. It was a challenging evening, but it was a day full of grace. At work, I just worked on building an addition to a school capacity calculating app that one of our clients. I am really just retrofitting part A to handle data related to part B,...
Read more →It’s always a precarious thing to wade back into our memories. When time passes and life batters us by waves of experiences, it’s easy to lose clarity about the things that have happened to us- especially those that happened long ago from where we are now. What we cannot remember clearly, we forget. And...
Read more →After reading the lyrics, I finally understand this song now. It totally explains to me what happened. “She had a place in his life… He never made her think twice.” Amazing. “A fool sees what he hopes for.” I guess it’s happened a few times in the world before. — “What A Fool Believes”...
Read more →Yesterday was a good day. I got a fair amount accomplished on a project at work, and the day was quiet. My boss has been out this week doing home projects, so it has been more empty back in the back area of the office where I work. I guess the biggest news of...
Read more →This weekend, much like last weekend, was a celebration of relationships. The highlights of my weekend featured time with my friends and family. I mean, come on, how can I top this? On Friday night after work I did my regular Graham’s hitch to socialize and dance and shed the tension of the work...
Read more →Thanks, Jeremy, for the intro.
Read more →That. Just. Happened. Well, two years ago.
This is what happens when your boss is out of the office, you just watched the intro of an Office episode that was similar, and Ben comes around with his camera.
Ben’s brother, Tim Lolli, accidentally fell into the film. He was a good sport, and a quick read to develop his character. We were also fortunate to have William Winkler make a cameo appearance near the denouement to up the dramatic intensity of the storyline.
Another quality production by Ben Lolli.
No furniture or computers were harmed irreparably in the making of this film.

Link: The Original. Just flat out inspirational.
Today was a pretty good day: I made some progress at work on creating a generic form generator that can update any table tied to a selected database, including setting some parameters on form fields and placing some checks on numerical fields. This little app can change how quickly building a backend administration area...
