It seems that you can’t go anywhere without seeing a tip jar these days. My favorite is the local hot dog stand where they grab a bun, throw your hot dog on it, and then you’re supposed to go put your own condiments on. Now that guy deserves a tip!
Or the credit card slips that always have a line on it for a tip, regardless of whether or not the business provides any tip-worthy-service.
I never thought I’d stay in Utah after coming to go to school. I thought for sure I’d end up back in California or coastal state. Nonetheless, it’s really grown on me.
A big reason for that is the natural beauty, which is why Utah is the capital of National Parks (with a record five). I’ve been to Bryce, Arches, Capital Reef and Canyonlands, but in my mind, Zions tops the list.
“If I were creating the world I wouldn’t mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers. Eight o’clock. Day One.” ~ Time Bandits, 1981

I find it very strange when girls struggle with finding gifts for guys. Honestly, you walk into any hardware or technology store and grab anything that the guy doesn’t have and he’s going to like it. If it is run by electricity or gas . . . bonus.
My cousin Brad sent me one of those funny math answers that floated around the web a couple years ago and got me laughing again so I thought I’d post a few. I myself am wicked-smart at math, like these students.
First, I don’t know. Honestly. I’ve thought about this a lot and I’ve got to believe there is more to it than just the standard descriptive terms (wet, refreshing, cool, etc.). I mean, we all have fun in water, but I’m literally drawn to water.
I love oceans and lakes and rivers and pools and waterfalls and puddles. I love getting in them, I like being next to them, I like looking at them. They calm me, they give me energy, they make me smile.
Luckily, I married a girl that also likes them about as much as I do. We take just about every opportunity we can to pack up the car and head to water.
