I’ve been busy looking for the root causes of happiness.
So far, I’ve got baseball, flying, and as few trees as possible. Comfy tennis shoes. Rascal Flatts. Macaroni Grill and Starbucks. And, naturally, Diet Dew.

a little rock and a little blues
He said I’m sorry
but I’ve never been crazy

My aspirations aren’t so grand. I want to go back and start a business in Tarkio and hire a bunch of Tarkians and make something good. I want a family of rugrats who play pirates with corn cobs and eat pancakes at their Grandma’s house and beat their dad at Stratego. I want to sit [...]

Why are people happy?
I’m happy when I’m doing what I like, surrounded by people I like, and it’s above fifty degrees.
I like to fly airplanes and listen to Mike Shannon call home runs and read books that don’t ask me to concentrate. I like classes that answer questions. I like open spaces and Raspberry Mocha [...]
