Lately, there has been a surge in people searching for and commenting on a post I did early this year. I figured I’d give an update….
Courtney’s sugar intolerance is continuing strong. We’re still not sure whether it’s an intolerance or an allergy, and I’ve started using the terms almost interchangeably. Sure, we could go find [...]

Christmas Wrapping
Posted in Dave-isms, On the Home Front on December 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I don’t know so much that it’s a guy thing, but it is definitely a Dave thing. I hate wrapping presents. It takes forever, my back aches from being bent over, and I’m just plain unskilled. Courtney’s presents, of course, look like angels descended from on high, gracefully layering lace and love across each individual [...]
Peanut Brittle
Posted in On the Home Front, Recipe on December 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just in case you forgot, I really am the owner of the world’s greatest fudge. (It’s not bragging if you’re telling the truth, right?) But while I may have the world’s greatest fudge, the Peanut Brittle gods have turned their collective backs on me.
I think it’s because I’ve worshiped at the fudge altar one too [...]
Just in case you forgot… Fudge
Posted in On the Home Front, Recipe on December 11, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I posted this recipe last year, but I figure it’s worth giving it a bump.
Last week, Courtney and I decided to make fudge for family and friends for Christmas. I finally got around to it earlier this week, and I quickly realized that I could either do it in multiple batches or all at once. [...]
Katherine the Matchmaker
Posted in On the Home Front, The Boo on December 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have some bad news. Apparently nearly six years of marriage is all Courtney and I get.
Yep, Katherine came home from a long weekend at grandma and grandpa’s house to announce that she was a matchmaker. She then took Courtney aside and started getting her ready to be “matched.” Courtney protested that she was already [...]
The Holy War 2009: BYU vs. U of U
Posted in Dave-isms, On the Home Front on November 30, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Let’s just start off by saying I bleed blue and I was very happy with the results of this past Saturday’s game. A win is always nice, but it’s especially nice when it comes against a rival.
But I was disappointed in the comments of the BYU quarterback, Max Hall, who after the game blasted the [...]
Christmas Trees, Camels, and Tents
Posted in On the Home Front on November 16, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I assume many of you are familiar with the parable of the camel, the nomad, and the tent/sandstorm, but if not, the story runs much like this….
A nomad and his camel were traveling through the desert when a sandstorm came up. The nomad quickly set up his tent and, leaving the camel outside, retreated to [...]
Katherine’s first calling
Posted in On the Home Front, The Boo on November 11, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Katherine got a calling last night.
For about a year now, she’s helped our ward organist post the hymn numbers in the chapel on Sunday, and the ward music chair showed up last night to offer Katherine the calling of Ward Music Number Person. It’s a completely made up calling of course, but the ward music [...]
Update: Swine Flu
Posted in On the Home Front on November 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Katherine’s fever finally broke Sunday morning. It took three days, and we had a couple scares of 103+, but she’s feeling better. I think the sign that she was truly feeling well again was when we realized that her talking had increased from about 1 word a minute up to 150 with gusts approaching 300.
She’s [...]
