Today was my last full day in Wyoming. My wife and I went to the Buffalo Bill Museums. If you ever get to Cody, Wyoming, I highly recommend visiting the museums if you are at all interested in the history of this area. Also, plan on a couple of days, if you are really anContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 6”

The Trip Home Part 5
Today was my last day of research for my next book. It was a good day of learning about the history of my hometown. I believe I have enough to at least start the outline of my book. I figured that I can always email for more information if needed. I’m excited for this nextContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 5”
The Trip Home Part 4
Today was a lot of research, which satisfied the academic in me so much. I got to spend time reading, taking notes, cross-referencing, and thinking about how this information will impact my story. There were things, of course, that I had already known about the history of my hometown. But there were also some thingsContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 4”
The Trip Home Part 3
Today’s journey was to Thermopolis, home of the World’s Largest Hot Springs. I really don’t think it’s the world’s largest, but I’m not going to argue! Thermopolis’s high school was my high school’s main rival. We usually beat them at everything. It was an easy trip there. We walked around to look at the hotContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 3”
The Trip Home Part 2
The biggest difference I noticed on my travels today was the weather. Southern California has fairly predictable weather. Worland, my hometown for those of you just tuning in, is not necessarily that way. It was a beautiful drive through Utah, with gorgeous white puffy clouds and the occasional sprinkle on the interstate. Once we gotContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 2”
The Trip Home Part 1
A while back I decided to write a historical fiction novel based in my hometown during its inception in the early 1900s. It’s one of those “God moments” where He just gave me an idea! It took me one evening to write an outline for the novel, which again feels like Him telling me thisContinue reading “The Trip Home Part 1”
Being a Dad
One of the most difficult yet most rewarding roles a man can take is to be a father. When I first found out that I was going to be a father, I cannot describe the excitement and joy that I experienced. The moment he was born, I wanted to be the best dad that IContinue reading “Being a Dad”
What Makes Men Masculine?
I’ve discussed masculinity periodically in several posts. It’s something for me that I have a difficult time coming to terms with as a survivor. As I’ve said before, it’s really hard for me to see myself as masculine. I have a very narrow sense of what makes a man, well a man. However, the dichotomyContinue reading “What Makes Men Masculine?”
A Time for Reflection
I’ve just finished my 30th year of teaching. The end of the school year always gives me a time to reflect on the progress, or sometimes the lack of progress, I have made. Overall, I feel that I’m in a good place, but I recognize that there are still areas where I need to improve.Continue reading “A Time for Reflection”
Predators
A friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in about four years visited southern California this weekend. We talked a great deal about many things, but since he knows that I’m a survivor, our conversation did talk about childhood sexual abuse. He was uncertain if he had been molested by his priest as a childContinue reading “Predators”
