Hidden away in the far end of the "B Concourse" in the Denver Airport is a little gem by the name of Heidi's Brooklyn Deli. I have eaten here nearly every time I have been through this airport. I never tire of eating a sandwich at this fine eatery.Usually I get the Pastrami but today I decided to have the Cajun Turkey and Avocado. Oh my!! I am pretty sure this is what you would find on the menu

This morning I went to the store to get doughnuts for breakfast.  It is Adam's birthday today and he had requested doughnuts.  So, I drove over to Winegar's in Clearfield.  The grocery store is in a small strip mall.  Right next to Winegars is a dollar store.  I parked in a parking spot right in front of the dollar store which happens to be the closest parking spot to the grocery store.  I went

Adam and I had a bit of a good natured insult war going on tonight.  I started it and he ended it...or I did by saying it was time to go see Grandma and Grandpa Hall.If you take the time to read through this, our comments are prefaced with our name.   If there is a comment without a name in front, it was made by the same person as the line above.  I was using my Blackberry and Adam was at the

A friend sent me this link to a site that has collected Utah baby names over a period of ten years. I can't imagine how stupid some people can be. Why on earth would anyone name their kid some of the names found on this list? Are people really that dumb? I am sure it is cute in the beginning, but how on earth does a kid learn to spell "Vyquetoriya Walkasheaqua" let alone say it?There are some

Yesterday we were heading up to Willard to pickup some pie cherries for Marni's mom. The road I normally take to the freeway was closed for construction, so I decided to just head up the old highway that parallels the freeway.As we were driving along I noticed in a field off to the left an obviously male horse. I thought no more of it and did not feel any particular reason to point the horse

Sammy got his stitches out today!!! We stopped by the doctor's office and nurse Terry took them out. Sammy did very well and only bled a little bit. I had to hold his hands to keep him from knocking the scissors and tweezers out of the Terry's hands. Now Sammy has some tape over the scar to keep things held together while the healing continues. He is going to have one cool scar!!For his

Last week I was in Page, AZ on business. I was looking for someplace to eat for dinner and remembered a really good place just off the main drag.If you ever find yourself in Page, stop by and have a bite to eat at Slackers. I had the Bacon Burger. Wow!!! I can't begin to describe how incredibly delicious the burger was. It was grilled to perfection and topped with crisp bacon, just the way I

I spent most of the past week at a customer site working on some equipment issues they were having. Finally, Friday morning we had fixed the problems and I was ready to head for home. On my way into town to gas up and head out, I called home to tell the family the good news. I was greeted on the phone by Adam. Adam told me that mom was busy taking care of Sammy.

This morning, the girls helped me out by bringing the mail in. Carolyn did her best carrying the ads. She had obviously dropped them a few times and was having trouble keeping them together. She just put them in a nice pile on the table.A while later, Erin (all of 20 months) was sitting at the table drinking some water while I cleaned off the remnants left behind from breakfast and lunch.

One of my evening trips while in Boston was to attend a session at the Boston Temple with a friend from my days as a missionary in Taiwan.After the temple session, we went to Chinatown in Boston and ate at the Taiwan Cafe. The food was wonderful and took me back to my days as a missionary.

I arrived home at 4am this morning after one very long day. The day started out innocent enough. I was in Foxboro, MA attending a training class for work. Friday was the last day of class. We finished at 10:30 a.m. I was on the road headed for Providence, RI to catch a flight home. I dropped of my rental car and was in the airport by Noon, hoping to catch an earlier flight home.

Yesterday I had an Orange Construction Barrel commit suicide in front of my van on I-15 in Kaysville. I tried to avoid the collision, but the barrel was bent on destruction by the bumper of my Uplander. The barrel became lodged under my bumper and front tire. I was able to navigate off of the freeway into the emergency lane and construction area. It took some backing up and tugging but I was

I am not much of a critic of food, but I thought I would share a bit about my dinner tonight. I followed the advice of a friend and had dinner at Anong's Thai Cuisine in Rawlins, Wyoming. I could not decide what to eat, everything on the menu sounded wonderful. I asked the waitress to surprise me. She brought me Spicy Lamb with Basil Leaves. Wow!!!Words cannot describe how yummy this dish

Last week I was working in Wyoming. My co-worker and I got to share the road with this Moose. It was running on the road a head of us. We followed it for quite a while up the road. It finally jumped off the road into the brush. We stopped and I got out and took one last picture.

Tonight I spoke at a Court of Honor for the Scout Troop that I was Scoutmaster of from 2005 to 2006. When the Ward I was in was split, I moved on with the new Ward and became Scoutmaster of the new troop. I have since been released as Scoutmaster of the new Troop and am now the District Training Chairman and an Assistant District Commissioner.So, when I arrived at the CoH tonight, I noticed

The van arrived last Thursday. It does have a slight purple hue to it. I have pretty pleased with what I received. The person who had the van before me added on the Roof Rack as well as the Rear A/C system. These would have had to have been paid for out of his own pocket. I was not willing to pay for these myself on the van I ordered. So, I lucked out.The down side is that when I received

With my new career, I was given a company vehicle. One of the other guys just got a new Chevrolet Impala. Usually when you get a new vehicle, you turn your old one in. Instead of giving it back, he held on to it and I received it when I started.I am dirving a 2002 Chevrolet Venture Van. It is really nice and has 74000 miles on it. In the month that I have had it, I have grown attached to it.

This is a copy of an email I sent to my boss just a few minutes ago. I couldn't make this up if I tried. Someone just had to ask the forbidden question…”what next?” Well, we received word that Marni’s Grandmother (not the one whose husband just passed away) is in the hospital with pneumonia, a bladder infection, and gall stones. And as if that is not bad enough, we just discovered that

Marni's Grandfather passed away today. I don't imagine there will be any rest in Heaven tonight. There is much work to be done, and a man who knows how to work has just arrived.I finished a book tonight, Baden-Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero. Near the end there is a poem that I thought seemed good to share.Few pioneers live long enough to see what they have done;Most men are glad if they

Last night I was sitting on the couch next to my wife reading when my cell phone rang at 9:31 p.m. It was my Dad. Not out of the ordinary for him to call me on a Sunday evening. I had not spoken with him for most of the week, life is busy. I figured he was calling to check in on the family.The conversation started out with the normal greetings and how are people doing type questions. And

Todd is the one who recommended the book, at least I read his blog and became interested in the book.If you read my previous post, you know I love to cook.

They came home with tons of candy for mom and dad!Part of the party included the annual chili, trunk decoration, costume, and dessert contests.

At first look, you may think the title is referring to my protruding belly...it is not. Marni and I were relaxing on the bed, making comments to Adam who was playing a game on the computer in our room, talking to himself, while we were answering his comments, though he was oblivious to our comments. Melanie and Carolyn came bounding in and jumped on the bed and joined us. So much for relaxing!

Monday night we had Family Home Evening with Marni's Grandparents. We sat around and talked about what life was like for Grandma and Grandpa growing up. We sang them some songs and had a great time.I am not sure why I have been so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. I could never on my own have put together a better family to be a part of.

I wanted to blog this before I forgot. We were having dinner at my parent's house last Sunday. My 3 year old daughter, Carolyn, came in and asked my wife to take her to the bathroom. While Carolyn was sitting on the throne doing her business she looked up at my wife and said, "when something flies over my head, I dunk."

Mike got tickets from his friend Matt (he plays for the Bees).It was military appreciation night at the game so they had a bunch of activities going on.

So, I got the truck back yesterday. I received the call in the morning that the repairs were going to cost my right arm, both legs, part of my torso, and two of my children. I waited all day and finally called at 4:48pm to be told that the mechanic had just finished up and was pulling in from the test drive.

This has been a busy month for car repairs. Last Friday I had to put a new battery in my truck. I took the day off today to get the oil changed in both vehicles and to get them both inspected. As it turns out the van didn't need an inspection. I can just pay the registration and I am good for another year. The truck is a different story.The truck failed the safety inspection. There is a

There were several huge telescopes setup on in the parking lot and we were able to see many incredible things. One telescope was setup to look at the moon. It was incredible!
