Dull knives invite dull guests. Sharp knives, you got it, sharp guests. Simple as that.

Babey Abey Likes to Hike
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Feeling that there wouldn’t be many more Sunday afternoons of fair weather, Babey Abey saddled up his Papa and invited his best friends (Balboa, Goobah, Bahbear & Wubber) to join him in a jaunt up the nearby mountainside. Mama stayed home to catch up on her Z’s.
What Do You See?
Thursday, August 27, 2009
The footage and soundtrack impress upon me an indelible notion of beauty. Then the logical, over-analytical guy steps up and asks:
1. How much do those scuba divers get for cleaning the tank? Do they pay them hourly - because at approx. 10 meters depth, they shouldn’t stay under for too long.
2. Also, do they [...]
“PULL!”

That’s the command for excitement in the deadly-fun game of shooting trap. Goob requested this activity as a integral ingredient to his ideal birthday celebration. After smoking scores of skeet in 102 degree heat, the party relocated to Mantua reservoir to cool off.
Tiffany Shares with My Baby Bear
Sunday, August 2, 2009
2009 is the year of the First Attendant. Who is Miss America this year? Yeah, I don’t know either, but the First Attendant’s fair renown for her frank and friendly remarks regarding man/woman marriage will live forever.
The 2009 Davis County First Attendant this year, rather than relish a ride in her fancy personal parade [...]
Golden Rectangle Treasure Chest for Bear
Friday, June 19, 2009
It’s a jewelry box that I made for bear-bear. Honeycomb onyx tiles donated by Big D who had them compliments of a neighbor with a big heart. Golden geometry dimensions provided by Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci from his 13th century classic, Liber Abaci. Tile saw borrowed from brother Phil. Abrasives and polishing compounds gifted by The [...]
King of the Road misses Queen of the House
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I miss Kym. As such, identifying with King of the Road (Proclaimers covering tune by Roger Miller) and Queen of the House (by Jodi Miller) seems natural.
Quick question. Why didn’t Jodi Miller sing “Queen of the Home” instead of “Queen of the House?”
Faking The Fall, a Goob Debut

This really would have been bad if he had jumped stage left instead of right. There is a 200+ drop on that side (with no net).

We own three dandelion diggers with the cumulative tensile strength of a wet noodle. Now we have one dandelion digger that won’t bend everytime it is inserted into the lawn and therefore will not be cursed and thrown across the lawn by its owner. Without further delay, I am pleased to introduce you to the [...]
Hornet Sting Pics
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
While closing the door to an old barn, the kind that has three hinges and only one hinge is functional, a disgruntled hornet darted to my forearm and launched its stinger. I dropped the door and slapped the hornet flat - mosquito style. The stinger shot even deeper. Here are the consequences.
In this image, the [...]
Happy Trails and Blue Shadows
Friday, May 15, 2009
The first vid has exceptional authenticity but really needs Happy Trails by a good whistler. The second vid has a fake set and wonderful song. Martin Short nails it @ 00:01:26.

A Dire Prediction
Friday, April 10, 2009
Has anyone else considered the unspoken but undeniable truth that cleantech will be the first technological revolution in history driven by constraints rather than opportunities? (Read full article here.)

My Response:
Thank you for the thought-provoking question. My answer is: Yes, it crossed my mind. But I contemplated it in another way. The agrarian model favored by [...]
Tom Hanks Joins Godmaker Ranks
Monday, March 9, 2009
Here’s the skinny: HBO’s Big Love is Executively Produced by Tom Hanks. Seems the show is about one man and more than one wife. I have never watched it and I don’t subscribe to HBO (or any Porn, for that matter [see earlier posts]). However, as the upcoming episode is in the headlines of the digital papers here in Utah, it [...]
Snowboarding All Day and All Night
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Had a great time shredding Wolf Mountain’s slopes today. This pic was snapped as Balboa was heading in to the lodge for warm cocoa with Gav. Goobs and I did two more runs (one from the top lift and one from the half-way-to-top-lift). Feels good to get out with the boys and finally [...]
