It was a very sad day for me to hear about terrorists hitting my homeland, ground that I’ve walked upon, streets I have walked down, buses which create nostalgia that there is no other place on the earth like London. Tony Blair’s comment hit me hard and I could understand his frustrations. It reminded me [...]
It’s been a long time coming… and a 12 mile bike ride reintroduced me to my keister. Gary Grubb challenged me to a 6 mile uphill onslaught up the City Creek canyon, but this was no sight seeing adventure! (well not for me anyway). It took me 58 minutes to reach the top (Gary’s time [...]

We’ve just had the pleasure of having our friends over from England (Jim, Loz and their son Noah). They flew into Florida and drove all the way here in about 2 weeks, driving over 3,200 miles.
