Ready for a totally opaque post? You know when you are putting a puzzle together and you have a missing piece? That is pretty much me right now. There are two types of missing pieces. The first is that piece that is all one color and just fills in some background color. The second is one that includes a critical part of the image; this is the one that without it the puzzle just doesn't quite seem to be complete.
It is that second one I am currently missing...here's to hoping I find it soon. ...

When I was in Tonopah earlier this month I noticed that the Mizpah was having a special St. Patrick's Day dinner. I was seriously missing some of my Reno folks so I suggested that they meet me in Tonopah for the weekend.
They met me Saturday in Goldfield (the drive up was rainy until about 10 minutes before Goldfield) and it turns out that is the one day of the week the gas station restaurant is closed and it was snowing so hard we just decided not to look around but rather head up to Tonopah.
I wanted to take them to a sandwich place I like but they too were closed on Saturday. We p ...

I must say that I am quite enjoying the extra sunlight after work since the time change. With there being no snow down here, there isn't too much fun to be had in the cold so I'm ready for the sun and warm weather (remind me of that in July/August).
This week the windows on the car have been rolled down which means I've been able to crank up the tunes. I've found it is also easier to get myself off the couch and head to the gym.
So..cheers to you daylight! ...

One of the advantages of living near Vegas is that when people come to visit, all hell breaks loose. Granted, I think when I lived up in Reno I showed people a pretty good time but there is a unique attitude that folks bring with them when they travel down to Las Vegas (or more exactly unincorporated Clark County). Such was the case last weekend.
Thursday night worked until about 7 and then headed to a great new coffee shop in Pahrump and filled up on coffee and a sandwhich. A quick stop home to pack and to the store for some golf balls and I hit the road to Vegas. My law school roo ...

It looks like the caucus in Iowa on Tuesday could be interesting with all the buzz being about how Romney, Paul, and ....Santorum?!?! will finish. It is far less interesting when only one party is doing battle but still worth the show.
2008 was such a blast because I was still in school and had ...

I have decided to no longer write posts about the news. Although I would love to and have lots of thoughts on current events, given my occupation and current employment system it is difficult to fully explore or comment on events. As such, posting about the news seems like a half effort and that ...

Nevada Debate: The Republicans are having a debate in Las Vegas on Tuesday night. This will be a chance for the candidates to speak to Western issues such as immigration, natural resources, and Nevada's staggering unemployment rate. In addition, some candidates have decided to boycott the Nevada ...

Mormonism: The Value Voters conference was this past weekend. It is where social conservatives gather and talk about how cool the Bible is, talk about social issues, and at the end do a nifty straw poll to determine the winner. Mormonism was injected when a Perry supporter called it a cult forcing ...

So two weeks ago I really blew it. I said there wasn't a Republican debate and there was on Fox sponsored by Google. It was a poorly produced event (I thought big title sponsorship = less commercials?). It also had a poor performance by Rick Perry where he actually admitted to helping the chil ...

Obama's Bill - The mainstream cable media will have to go a whole week without a GOP debate which means they might actually be able to focus on the Obama Jobs bill and the Obama Tax bill coming up. They will likely poke and prod and weigh the chances of survival of the bill or certain parts of the ...
