To Build a Fire, Part 2
This is the continuation of this. I made the fire on the third and final night. I had made one the night before, but it was nothing compared to this one, so I’m leaving it out. I pulled out my hatchet and began splitting the wood–first into large pieces and then some smaller ones for…

To Build a Fire, Part 1
The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Jack London, To Build a Fire This quote has nothing to do with this post. It’s just one of my favorite lines from one of…

The Pilates Experiment
Last night at the gym, I tried Pilates for the first time. Tara and I have been talking about going to the class for a while now, but I kept chickening out. Not last night! I made it through the whole class. It was not easy, however. On the way up the stairs to the…

AbsolutelyAndrew Turns 3!!
It has been 3 years since that infamous backroom deal went down in which a generous gift of server space made AbsolutelyAndrew possible. In the weeks that followed, I would rise from street corner of Xanga hormone angst to the penthouse suite of self-hosted stardom. If you have been with me ever since the pilot…

Check out the New Header
I just updated my header photo and figured I’d better do a post to commemorate it. I think this is the closest I’ve come to actually having the current season represented by the header (aside from leaving the same photo up for so long that the season comes around again). However, as of this week,…

Andy Sandberg Look-Alike
This past January, Tara and I enjoyed our 3rd Sundance Film Festival. We saw three films this year, one of which, Madrid 1987, was at the small, intimate theater at the Sundance Resort. The journey up to the resort on that Saturday afternoon was exciting enough–Utah was finally getting hammered with a snowstorm and chains…

So This is Christmas…
Time got the best of us this holiday season and we did not get around to writing, printing, stuffing, and sending a Christmas letter. With the Christmas rush over, I have decided to create an innovative, unprecedented interactive Christmas letter here. 2011 was a year of traveling for us. Nothing major, just a whole bunch…

1st Christmas
This week I submitted my second guest post for Kara’s blog. She’s doing a series on Christmas memories. Check it out! Also, on a completely random side-note, lets see how MarsEdit does with embedded video:

An anniversary trip to Wine Country
Back in August, Tara and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Since we did not have any thawed wedding cake this year, we decided to take a mini vacation. Last fall we had the idea to go on a weekend trip to Grand Junction, CO for wine tasting. A year later, that idea came to fruition.…

Camp Shower
The following is an excerpt from our road trip to Tara’s hometown earlier this summer. We went through Jackson WY, Yellowstone, Bighorn NF, The Black Hills, and The Badlands on our way to Yankton. This is from our 3rd night on the road in Bighorn National Forest. *** It’s 10:30 in the evening and Tara…
