How Many National Parks Have You Been To?

The United States has 63 designated National Parks, and Utah is home to five of the best (yes, I'm a little biased, but seriously, they are fantastic). What is it about these beautiful landscapes that calm us and make us feel alive at the same time? We live 99% of our lives in a routine world consisting primarily of walls, but when we finally break free, that 1% is glorious!

Snow Day

Growing up in the Great White North provided me with several snow days. Those were precious hallowed days that only came after much praying from all the kids to the snow gods. Playing in the snow, building snow people (a little P.C. there), and having snowball fights were the name of the game.

A Unique Perspective

This morning I woke up early with a bit of a sore throat. I got up and made some hot water and honey, which usually helps. I left my glasses in the room, and I decided to go without them, not wanting to disturb my wife. As I sat on the couch sipping my magical tonic, I enjoyed the peace of the early morning and the warm glow of the Christmas tree.

Fighting The Voices In Our Head

Life is a labyrinth of tunnels, doors, zig-zags, dead ends, and, sometimes, glorious vistas. The captain of our ship as we navigate these complicated waters are the voices in our head. Outside voices give us advice, teach us, tear us down or lift us up, but they don't turn the rudder. Any action we take is because we think, determine, and then do.

Black Friday Sale

Have you ever wondered how a furniture store can have a “Sale” every weekend? Have you ever felt that some stores mark up their prices to mark them down to have a “Sale”? Well, I have certainly felt that way! In fact, I have grown quite cynical when I hear the word sale.

The Dark Side Of Humans

Most of us come out pretty 50/50 on the serving/selfish scale. The truth is that for every kind and gracious thought we have, there's a selfish one that counterbalances it. It's hard to put others first and suppress the desire for self-gratification, power, fame, laziness, and endless fun. Given the opportunity, most humans choose the shortcut and a life of luxury and ease.

We Are All Simba

As I was watching the show, I realized why this show is so popular worldwide. It teaches a truth that rings true in our souls whether we know it or not. Every single one of us is Simba.

Why we don’t carry Oticon

We don't carry Oticon because they are overpriced and not one ounce better than Phonak, Unitron, Resound, or Signia. You might ask, "If they aren't any better, why are they more expensive?" Well, buckle up buttercup, because I'm about to explain why.

You Need A Good Belay!

This summer, I took my nephew rappelling down a waterfall. We first had to climb the canyon walls, which got steep in places and pushed him past his comfort zone. He was very nervous but also very brave!

Your Headlight Fluid Might Be Low

Headlight fluid, sparkplug filters, radiator belts, and electric combustion flanges all have one thing in common; they don't exist. If you have ever replaced one of these parts because your mechanic told you it was a good idea, you should look for a new mechanic. As things get…

A Chip Off The Old Block

Okay, so I hate to admit this, but I don't completely grasp the English language. Yes, I enjoy writing, and I do it for a living (I know some of you are wondering what kind of living I must have if I rely on my writing skills for sustenance. For your information, I mostly rely on my wife and miracles from heaven, but I digress). However, despite writing every week, I never really understood what the saying "a chip off the old block" meant.
