I finally got around to loading some of my Vegas pics into Lightroom today. I made a few minor corrections to overcome the iPhone camera and came out with what I feel is a nice little gallery of some of my favorites. These are taken around Red Rocks Canyon and Lake Mead.
Read moreVillager escape!
A quick update from Minecraft. Some of my friends and I started up on a new server and I decided to create a villager trading post. My first attempt came out pretty good, but then I realized I made it too close to my villager breeder and so I wasn’t getting any new villagers spawning. […]

I know there are a few photo buffs who follow my musings here, so I’m hopeful that maybe a few of you will come out of the woodwork to put a comment or two on this post. This is one of those interactive posts that could use some input :). I started shooting back in the […]
Read moreA day-late running blog
Argh… my excuse for missing yesterday is either A) I was still getting back into normal life after our trip and forgot. B) I was too busy playing Minecraft and forgot. C) I had honestly thought I had written one, but apparently hadn’t. D) All of the above. So here’s my first of what will […]
Read moreLas Vegas – Wrap up
We returned very late last night, so late that it was actually today. Our plane landed around 12:15am and we began the process of getting our luggage and starting our drive home. Needless to say we found ourselves sleeping in quite a bit this morning before finishing the unpacking and starting laundry. This is the […]

Read moreLas Vegas breweries
One of the things I like to do when visiting other cities is to sample their local brewery culture. I love to try new beers and love talking with local breweries about the beer culture in their cities. This trip has afforded me a chance to try beer from four different places so far, so […]
Read moreRunning Red Rocks Canyon… the adventure
One of the things I like to do when traveling is run in different climates and biomes than I can experience back home. Since we’re in the desert I wanted to spend some time running in the desert, and we selected Red Rocks Canyon on the west edge of Vegas. My wife planned a smaller […]
Read moreLas Vegas 2015 – Day 1
Today started bright and early with arriving at the airport by 7am to catch our flight to Vegas to visit my wife’s family. Although I had been nervous for a while about flying I managed to feel pretty good this morning. I also took a little white pill to help calm me down during the […]
Read moreSomething about a dress, but more
So a couple weeks ago the Internet exploded with everyone talking about if a dress was gold/white or black/blue. I was one of the people who saw only gold/white, and no matter what I did, I just couldn’t see the black/blue. There were some great articles out there about the science behind it, but I […]
Read moreTeens all around
Today I am officially the parent of ONLY teenagers. As someone who turned 40 last year, it sometimes feels a bit weird to think that my children are this old already. However, I really enjoy the fact that my kids are mature and old enough to take care of themselves in ways that younger kids […]
