A pancake shaped like a butterfly. Outlined in black with red, purple, blue and yellow in the wings. It’s on a silver baking pan.

I’m not big on breakfast for dinner but last week my daughter was sick and wanted soup and pancakes so she got a butterfly pancake . . . and soup.

You got it! Webb Wilder. The back is based on his credo. I think my coach knew him and used a bunch of his music. My personal favorite song of his is Human Cannonball.

Great guess! To be fair my musical knowledge is limited. The song title is Tough it Out but this one was not by FM. More in the rockabilly genre. The back offers a hint.

My son today wore my - checks notes - 30 year old high school basketball sweatshirt. Bonus points if you can name the musical artist our theme was based on.

Proud husband alert. My wife got sworn in tonight for her second term on the local school board.

A young boy a the left wears red. A young girl also wears red and an adult male wears blue stripes. They are smiling at the camera at the air and space museum. Multiple airplanes are seen behind them including the Concord.

Snow day for the kids and I had to pop into the museum to pick up some equipment. Pretty fun to take a few minutes to walk around.

I feel like trail mix that includes chocolate chips isn’t trying hard enough.

Wild!

Ugg 4 hours left to go. Yay snow and mountains.

On the road again…

Just wanted to post something that makes me happy. Going through old pics and this one popped up. I still catch grief over this outfit I dressed my daughter in. She’s 10 now.

Last picture of 2024. Hope everyone has a great New Year!

What does this say about the coming year?

Anderson and Andy might be my favorite television show of the year.

Dad and two kids smile at the camera with the sun behind them during f totality of the eclipse

Dad and two kids stand in front of a house with the moon behind them. A giant moon bow completely circles the moon.

A boy stands on the left. His dad on the right. They both point to the middle of the frame. Between them is a comet with the tail going up.

I got to witness some pretty amazing astronomical events in 2024 including a comet, moon bow and total solar eclipse. The best part was getting to experience them with my kids! #YearInReview #Astronomy #eclipse

A highlight of this day was getting to see Sandy Koufax in person. #HappyBirthday Sandy!

Someone please photoshop this guy sliding into third base under the tag!

This is awesome!

Was going through some old pics and found this one I took in Houston. #photography

I’d also argue that helping students make sense of their world is a huge part of helping them craft a better one.

The hoo doos at Bryce Canyon shimmer orange and yellow, dotted by dark green pines. The opposite of poverty is not wealth, but justice.

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed - MLK

Three band members perform on a small stage. The closest wearing blue plays a large base. The middle creating brown plays a violin. The furthest wearing black plays a guitar.

Watching my buddy in his Grateful Dead tribute band tonight. Shakedown Strings rocked it! #Knuckleheads

Towering hoodoos at Bryce Canyon National Park. The tones of the rock formations are a pink to red fade from top to bottom. The hoodoos look almost like statues carved by nature. Full grown evergreen trees create a provide contrast against the red hues, and give a sense of scale for the rock giants.

A tree whose roots were uncovered by erosion, appears to walk out of the mountain. Bryce Canyon's hoodoos are in the background.

The red stone of Bryce Canyon along with the strange formations of the rock hoodoos makes the landscape feel otherworldly. If it weren't for the splashes of green trees, the terrain could be almost Martian. Hiking the canyon is a perfect escape. #wanderlust #travel #GetOutdoors #TravelPhotography

Picture of Hank Aaron’s book “I Had a Hammer”. Book is brown toned with a picture of Hank Aaron hitting.

Inside blank pages of a book. Brownish in color. The right page is signed by Hank Aaron.

I love going to used book stores. I look for stuff to read and signed books. I read this a long time ago, but hit the jackpot finding it signed. #HammerinHank #autographed

I need help with some math/
statistics. My son who is 12 just ate 10 tacos at supper. Not the little bitty ones either. As he gets older is this an exponential growth thing or will at some point it level off.

Every. Time.

Can’t start too early!
