World Premier: Survivor Jon Vs the Wild

Episode 1: The Arizona Desert

Final Jonapalooza Report

I don't have any more pictures to share. On Sunday we went to church, then relaxed outside. We had a birthday dinner for Ellie, and ate the cake. I packed my bags and went to bed so I could catch my 6:50 am flight. I got to the airport at about 6:15, and got through security just as my plane finished boarding,I got on, then we got to sit on the plane for an hour and a half because of snow in Denver. I finally arrived in Denver, and drove home. It is snowing with heavy winds, and temps in the 20's right now. It is still good to be home. I had a blast at Jonapalooza 2009. I hope to do it again, maybe even at another location.

Jonapalooza Report day 3

I rested at home in the morning, then went to watch the cubs in spring training.
Then after we got home I was still hot from the ball game, so we jumped in the pool.
After Dinner Joshua and I decorated a tiger castle cake for Ellie's 7th birthday.





Then we went to bed.

Jonapalooza Report Day 2

We spent the morning making a film. I will share it with you after I finish the conversion and upload it. After that we had lunch at Mi Nidito. It is supposed to be a really good Mexican restaurant that lots of famous people visit. the food was pretty good, but could have been better. It was a good lunch. The place was very busy.

After Lunch we began film editing, then ate dinner.

We finished the evening with roller dancing ...

and homemade Cheesecake Ice Cream.

Jonapalooza report - Day 1

The first full day of Jonapalooza has come to an end. here are the pictures and report.

We started out enjoying the warm Arizona sun
Then we cooled off in the pool with a nice refreshing glass of homemade lemonade.
We then had to replenish the lemon supply to have more lemonade later, so we picked lemons.
Not all were as perfect as this one, but they are all just as refreshing.For dinner we went to In-N-Out, and enjoyed a burger and a shake.Jonapalooza day 1 ended with a guitar playing sing-a-long.
We all slept well, and are looking forward to Day 2!

Jonapalooza 2009 has begun.

I'm now in Tucson, AZ where it is nice and warm. I left snow on the ground and high winds. Check out the drift by my front door overhanging the ledge.
A view from underneath.
and was greeted in Tucson with this...

Now its time for lemonade by the pool, and warm sunny afternoons!

Taxes are done

I finally finished my taxes today. I would have done it long ago, but I've been waiting for my K1 from the company I owned last year. We finally finished the taxes for Tech Caddies, so now I've finished mine.

From the experience I can see why companies hire accountants to take care of that crap, and we were a very small company and not complex.

Two more days of work then it is off to Tucson for vacation. I'm looking forward to it.

sweet seats for cubs game

So the VIP Box seats went on sale and even though I already have a bleacher ticket for Thursday afternoon game (may 14th) I took a look at the box seats. I was able to get one right behind home plate row two, and I couldn't pass up the chance to sit that close, so I bought the ticket. I'll have to throw up the bleacher one on stub hub, or sell it at the game. Maybe it will be on a TV set near you, and I can be the guy acting dumb in the background.

March Madness is coming ...

I'm looking forward to the tourney starting next week. This week there are some good tourney games. Wyoming plays tonight at 9:30, and the MTN is finally broadcasting in HD for the MWC tourney. They need to go to HD permanently.

Go Pokes

More toys

So I finally decided to buy a guitar. I have been wanting to buy one for over 10 years really, but never wanted to spend the money, didn't know what to buy etc.

I ended up buy a relatively inexpensive fender acoustic guitar. Now I'm trying to memorize fingering positions for chords. I have a few down, but I need to get better calluses on my fingers, and be able to change chords faster. I hope that my time spent playing the piano, drums, trumpet, baritone, etc. will help with the other musical aspects of learning the guitar.

Wyoming has its final home game of the year this Saturday against New Mexico. Hopefully we can win and finish 19-11. We have come a long way this year.
