As I make my way to Notre Dame, I am taken by the beauty and peace of this land America and the clouds that wreath it. Though I am a nervous flier, once we are in the air all anxiety ceases and I sit back and enjoy the ride.

As we took off this morning, the space shuttle Atlantis also launched, bringing the shuttle program to an end. It is sad for me. I remember when my grandfather first told me about the shuttle program, and I recall watching the Enterprise make its first flight off the back of a 747. I will miss the shuttles, and I think our country will miss them too.

Independence Day in Small Town America

Celebrating the 4th of July in a small town is a cornucopia of Cowboys, corndogs, and carousels. This year we spent Independence Day with my wife's family in Idaho, taking in as much Americana as we could.

We began yesterday by catching candy thrown from the floats at the Grangeville Border Days parade, then stuffed ourselves on shaved ice, grilled burgers and corndogs. The kids had fun spinning around on carnival rides and winning prizes from the carnies.

In the evening we enjoyed a rodeo, complete with barrel racing, steer riding, and calf roping.

Tonight we're going to end the festivities with our own fireworks show in the front yard.

It's been a busy few days, but we've made some great memories.

What would Peter Jackson think?

This bizarre statue was in a park across the street from where my son's pickup was disabled. I wonder if Peter Jackson could use it as inspiration for the monster spiders in The Hobbit.

Moody Blues in Concert

(download)

I've been experimenting with the Posterous iPhone app, and I thought I'd check to see how Posterous integrated with my blog. Please pardon me if this post disappears.

This is video from a Moody Blues concert I attended a few weeks ago. Great concert. I never thought I'd have a chance to see these guys perform live.
