This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.

happy new year
wishing you a safe and fun night of ringing out the old and ringing in the new.
Thanks for the good wishes. My New Years Eve was spent chaperoning a slumber party for six 14 years olds. I think I may be scarred for life. Kidding. Happy 2008 David, looking forward to many blog entries...
I saw a news story on the Day 1 of folks skiing down Big Bear with lit torches. First day off this week right now (Thurs). Had to work through it all again. Maybe 08 will find me a job without need to work holidays... unless they're paying out big bux!
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.
