In Training

In my neighborhood it is cool to display your road biking
accomplishments on the back of your SUV. Of course, there's
nothing more prestigious than completing the LOTOJA bike
race. Anyone who's anyone has biked from Logan to Jackson
(206 grueling miles), the worlds longest single day road cycling
race. Well, I found an even better race.

Has anyone heard of the LAYTOKAY? It's short for Layton
to Kaysville, a grueling 1 mile stretch of flat land. I'm getting
ready!

There's a Ghost in My House!

Every morning when I wake up I'm never quite sure where
Tanner will be. Sometimes I'll have to drag him out of his bed.
Sometimes he will be quietly watching CNN or the stock exchange
ticker tape. This time I was a bit surprised.

There he is....fast asleep

What Is That?

Every door in this house has toothpicks stuck in the door casing.
Does a toothpick ward off evil spirits? Does it bring good luck to
the inhabitants? Do the toothpicks cast a powerful spell on whom-
ever shall enter?

No. We are not a superstitious family. We do, however, have a
sneaky little goblin living here who enjoys wreaking havoc
wherever he goes. Therefore every door is locked or chained or
blocked in some way. So if I need to fold laundry I take the
toothpick out of the door jamb and unlock the door. If I want
to go into my room I take the toothpick out of the door jamb
and unlock the door. If I want to use the restroom I take the
toothpick out of the door jamb and unlock the door. Get the point?


The fridge is locked

The cupboards are locked


Any door leading to the outside world is chained. Welcome to my world.
