How Spring Sprung and Blogging Fell By the Wayside

Excuses, excuses…I know. Lemme think of a good one here…..blargh! I got nothin! And that pretty much aptly describes the state of my lil brainsky lately…Nothin. No spark, no fire, no ideas. Nothin.
However, I will say that the weather in good ole SLC has been beautiful of late and I [...]

I don’t believe in God, I believe in science

My old neighbor though, she was [...]
