I think for the first time in my life I am starting to think in terms of 10 year chunks of time. It is somewhat humbling to think of myself 10 years ago, an 18 year old. How did all this time pass?

On the eve of my 28th birthday I feel generally happy with life. I think that one thing I need to return to is actively committing time to personal retrospection on my life. I need to ask myself the following: what am I doing, why am I doing it, and it is what I want to do.

In addition I want to get back into my habit of always having an answer to this daily question: “What did I learn today?”

I’ll report on my progress on my “New Years Resolutions” here. 28 Years old, here I come!

We are going to Moab this weekend. I am looking forward our children’s first visit to a national park.

I have been having an awful lot of problems sleeping lately. It seems like I just have a hard time deciding to fall asleep, and once I actually decide to fall asleep my body won’t co-operate. Any ideas on what I should do?

Spanish Fork, home of pride and progress.

I just landed in Chicago. 4 hour layover on my way to London.

Mandy: I miss you dearly. I can’t wait to see you in a week.

I am having one of those days where I can’t do anything right. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

It seems like whenever I am on a plane and disconnected from the cloud all I can do is delete email. I become absorbed in the idea that once my computer reconnects with the precious Internet it will fire off a frenzy syncronization, ridding my email server of wasteful emails.

Oh the things we do when we are bored. Two rows up and to the left a kid has an old superman DVD playing. What I wouldn’t give to have that DVD right now, so I could hear the corny 1950s dialog.

In a related story dealing with my time wasting: The Wall Street Journal morning report podcast really sucks. Way to many smart ass cliches. It is kind of like watching Utah’s FOX 13 news at nine. At least you can laugh at FOX 13′s poor visual productions and mistakes.

I am bored. I need Mandy and the kids right now. I miss you guys.

I am in the airport shuttle, on my way to a 7 am flight to the motor city. The shuttle is full of middle aged salesman, going out on that client visit. The moon, which just went down, was a striking orange, revealing even at night the filth in the sky.

It is finally time for the world to come back to life.  Every time I walk outside I want to stay outside and become one with nature.  I am a true naturalist.
