The Butlers: Jerry Hughes
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2009/08/jerry-hughes.html
We are at two with Nature. Friday, August 14, 2009. Death is very difficult…any way you slice it. While I continue to feel extremely lucky to have gotten to know my grandfather so well, especially in the most recent 15 years of my “adult” life (and I use this term very loosely), I still cannot help but miss him. Is this selfish and making it all about me? I miss his thirst for knowledge. I miss his humility. I miss the way he could be gentle and yet firm at the same time. I miss his desire for fairness.

The Butlers: February 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Coaching 6th and 7th grade girls basketball is proving to be both challenging and rewarding. In all honesty, most of the time I feel more like a wrangler than a coach. Does anyone remember that great Superbowl commercial from a few years ago that followed a bunch of cowboys moving a herd of kittens cross country? No idea.but I need to get over it.). Some of my favorite moments from the season thus far:. 3) During a voluntary post-practice group pra...

The Butlers: March 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Friday, March 14, 2008. For better or for.can it get much worse? Lessons learned in the past week:. 1) That guy on those UPS commercials can draw real good. 2) Pasteurized milk causes acne.but Rice Drink is dang tasty. 3) The recommendation "try new things" does not apply to me. Once I was over my tantrum, Cameron and I had a great day. I will admit that it felt odd skiing someplace that 1) I could feel my lungs and 2) had no snow anywhere but on the slopes, but I was able ...

The Butlers: April 2009
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. If you do in fact buy into the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words" then the following, family and friends, is my 61,000 word essay on the past couple months. 1) Cameron had to go to CA for business so Colby came up the mountain to keep me company.and he brought a couple feet of snow with him. Me, "Oh, let's do a movie marathon! 2) Cameron and I have been married 2. And then shoot the eggs...

The Butlers: December 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Cue that hard to understand New Year's song.you know the one. That time of year.the time for over-analyzing and intense introspection. Since I like neither one, I turn to Dave Barry because he can say it so much better than I can. Dave Barry's Year in Review: Bailing out of 2008. How weird a year was it? 8226; O.J. actually got convicted of something. 8226; Gasoline hit $4 a gallon - and those were the good times. Of course not all the events of 2008...

The Butlers: October 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Monday, October 20, 2008. Let's go to the phone lines. Fact: I am bad at "staying in contact", I am not a good phone talker, I fear that email is a bit impersonal, and due to our location, "visiting people" is not very convienient. So, I will attempt to answer some of your questions by way of a short Q&A session. Here we go. Q: You almost died last week? A: No, and where did you hear that? No picture for obvious reasons. Now that we have that taken care of, the only challenge f...

The Butlers: January 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Not only is it the Vortex capital of the world, and breathtakingly beautiful, but Cameron and his family lived there for a short stint when he was a kid. Back to the ol' stompin' grounds we go. Some Cactoid looking object:. Water that Fell on Oak Creek:. Good thing Cameron was there to hold stuff down:. I took pictures of stuff:. A perfect mixture of ice, water, and rocks:. Slide Rock (not much sliding done on account of the brisk H2O):. For me, the...

The Butlers: May 2008
http://butlered.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
We are at two with Nature. Thursday, May 22, 2008. First off, let me apologize for the impromptu hiatus. There. Now that we have that out of the way, and my guilty conscience has been mended, we can move on. How is that for symbolism? Cameron flew back to California to focus on work and I stayed here at Camp McMahan (shout out to their generosity and patience) with a mission to push the house project along in any way possible. And push I did. 2 In the likely event that you happen to drop something on the...
