The Specific Ways that Recovering from an Adult Tonsillectomy Is Miserable

Posted on: 20 February 2021 /
Categories: Personal History, Self

I wrote this on Day 9 after the surgery. Pre-surgery, I was trying to find info on what the experience was like. Everyone said it was miserable, but couldn’t explain anything beyond that. So, yeah. Read this, and then you’ll know. The first couple of nights, there was phlegm or something in the back of

Selling My House in River Heights Last Summer

Posted on: 18 February 2021 /
Categories: Other, Self

Last summer, I sold my house in River Heights. It was a little small and not super expensive when I bought it — I chose it originally because (a) I hadn’t sold my house in Okie yet, and so didn’t have as much cash as I would’ve liked, (b) the house was slightly below median

Springtime in December for Austria

Posted on: 17 February 2021 /
Categories: Cities, Skiing, Travel

Plus a hearty acknowledgement that I’m posting this more than a year after it happened. I shrug. After the conference, the conference in 2019 (here), I thought it’d be fun to extend my trip into a Euro ski vacation, despite the fact that I’ve written multiple notes-to-self with the instruction that I should never (again)

My One Day in Salzburg

Posted on: 8 October 2020 /
Categories: Cities, Travel

My brother told me that I should visit Salzburg while I was in Munich, so I did. It was cool. An amazing place for a one-day tourist (it’s probably great for more than one day — I just had a day and it was amazing). Rainy day though. bkd

Another Year, Another Large, International Conference: Munich

Posted on: 7 October 2020 /
Categories: Cities, Travel

I go to this conference every year, but every year it takes place in a different city. In 2019, it (ICIS) took place in Munich, a Bavarian city. SLC > DEN > MUC. I dropped money to fly business class. It was more comfortable than coach. I still didn’t sleep much. I got there a

All the Floor Plans I Developed over the Last Year

Posted on: 20 February 2020 /
Categories: Projects

I’m going to start building a house having someone else build a house to my specification and on my behalf next month. I’m not sure why I became committed to this future, but it kind of happened about a year ago — I started looking for building lots and, more to the point, coming up

I Don’t Actually Enjoy Backpacking, I Just Keep Doing It

Posted on: 2 January 2020 /
Categories: Self

It’s sort of a type for my life in that sense. I go backpacking sometimes. I’m not really a serious backpacker and I don’t know that it’s a particularly integral part of who I am, but still: sometimes I pack up, drive somewhere, walk somewhere, then sleep on the ground for a night or more.

Day-Hike to Quinnebaugh Meadows

Posted on: 23 September 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

After doing the three-nighter toward Martin Lake, the dog and I went back to Red Lodge, rested up, and then hit the trail again for one more day hike before heading home. This was was out to Quinnebaugh Meadows, which I picked mostly because the dog doesn’t like being in the car and the trailhead

Three Nights in the Beartooths: Sort of Near Martin Lake Eventually

Posted on: 20 September 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

I don’t even know how to refer to this one. It happened in August though. The Beartooths (in Montana) are good. My friend Dave texted me a few months ago and told me this was the year for him to go there with me. So we sort of planned a trip on the Beaten Path

Stough Creek Basin via Twin Lakes (Wind Rivers)

Posted on: 8 August 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

Did this trip over four days/three nights (July 24-27) as the High Adventure trip for the boys in the ward (these are Utah/LDS terms — can be replaced with “took a bunch of kids from church” as needed). The group and our arrival time in the eastern Winds dictated the route to some degree (it
