What Are You Currently Reading?
I’m curious, what are you currently reading? I’m always interested in new subjects, but don’t always make time to read anything out of my usual genre of WWII. I’ve got a stack of books still waiting to be read, and all of them are regarding the world war. Some are written by soldiers, while others are by war historians. I find that, while I do enjoy the perspective of those that lived through it, reading books by writers are sometimes easier to follow. However, I’ve started reading more autobiographies than those written by someone that has extensively studied the subject and become somewhat of an expert. Last month I decided…

Reconnecting with the Past
I received a text message this morning that I was not expecting, but made my heart skip a few beats when I realized who it was. So, most of you know, I walked away from Texas in one afternoon. Walked out on a life that was harsh at times and no longer my punishment to bear. When I drove off with just an overnight bag and a new phone number, I cut ties with most people, but also lost touch with someone that was very important to me. It was not something that either of us ever intended to happen, but her life had a lot going on in it…

Another Week Off Cam
We are driving to Salt Lake City Tuesday afternoon, flying to Tucson early Wednesday morning and will be gone until the following Monday. It’s going to be another week off from cam and the site, but I will stay connected via Twitter and in emails. It is not often that we take an actual break from everything and this will be our second week in just over a month. We’re going with the same group that we went to Florida with in February; a good group of people. I will still be on VNALive on the 28th and April 4th, but will miss the Thursday show scheduled for the 31st.

Mother Nature is Cray-Cray
Good grief, this winter has been all over the place. We had a warm November and the first part of December, with our first substantial snowfall during the holidays. Once it arrived, it blew in with strong winds and non-stop snow for a week or more, and most days stayed below freezing. Then it hit 45 and most of the snow melted in just a few hours. It quickly returned to below freezing temps for weeks, but no moisture again until late February when we had 2 feet dumped on us and it all melted in 5 days, turning our hikes into a muddy mess. Abby was happy. She loves…

A New Mailing Address
I have a new address that will make receiving packages much easier than driving to Twin Falls a couple times each month. It is a physical address that will accept packages for LSA, forwarding them to my home once a month. That does, unfortunately, mean I won’t receive some packages for a few weeks, but this is a safe and much better option for me. LSA (Lone Star Angel)10673 W Lake Hazel Rd #1016Boise, ID 83709

VNA Wins!
You guys continue to amaze me with your everlasting loyalty and support. Without you, I would not be in the top three as often as I am. It isn’t just one, but every single member that shows up each week. Some of you are there for the hour, while a few of you join ONLY to vote. It’s nothing short of incredible, I will say that. Thank you for making me the #1 show in January, followed by the 2nd best in February. I consider them both a huge win and I cannot express my appreciation enough; you guys are the best of the best! If you are new to…

Well Fuck Me Sideways
Holy fuck, last week was nothing short of frustrating. From last minute appointments in town, to missed calls and some dude walking on my roof while I was in a private session. There is a story with the roof walker. For the last 2 months our internet has had a serious lag; thankfully it never once affected my cam sessions, but to Tweet, upload videos and thumbnails to my site, blog, whatever, it would take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes just to load the page. How it didn’t affect my cam, I don’t know, but the internet guys continuously insisted that it was my router. I rebooted it, I…

Going to Florida
I will be off of cam from Sunday, February 13th to Monday, February 21st, but I will make the VNALive that night.. Florida is forecasted to be a sunny 75-80 degrees while we are there with a few showers here and there. I’m super excited about both, the sun and the rain. My toes are going to see the sun every day! I love living in the mountains and having long winters, but in the last week I’ve realized how much I miss my feet in flip flops! We are going with a group of people and will be on a strict schedule, with maybe an hour to spend at…

Antiquing and Stuff
I am not a shopper. I hate it. I’m not good at it and I just want to go in, get what is needed and get the fuck out. I have always been like that, even as a kid. I had a girlfriend who was always in Austin on the weekends, shopping. I’d ask, “shopping for what?” and she’d respond with, “stuff”. How much stuff does one need and how much space do you have left in your room? Good grief. And then there are antique shops. I LOVE going window shopping at antique places. I will always walk out with something, mainly because they just let me peruse their…

Saturday, the 12th on VNALive
With our upcoming trip to Florida, we’ll be in SLC on Monday for our early flight the next morning, which means I’ve had to reschedule the VNALive hour. The good new is, you have me twice this week and once on the weekend! Win-win, if you ask me! To keep it simple, I’ve kept it for the same time as usual – 11p EST. I hope to see you there, but if not have a wonderful week and I’ll be back to my normal schedule on February 21st.
