Radio Burnout/The Moth

I drive around A LOT for my job. During this time I usually listen to NPR. But, I am so tired of all the talk about the election and economy. It used to be I could listen to varied and interesting shows like the woman who has a passion for growing melons. Or there was the one with the guy that plays his clarinet with whales.  

Lately I have been listening podcasts. One that I recently discovered is The Moth. The Moth is a not-for-profit storytelling organization. The podcast features people telling true stories on stage without notes. Some of the stories have been featured on This American Life - another of my favorite podcasts.  The other show that I podcast is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me

The problem is that this only gives me about 2 1/2 hours of podcasts per week. Help! Can anyone recommend any others?

Zach gets a Helmet Trick

Last night Zach had one of those once in a lifetime games. He got the ball on 3 consecutive possessions and scored 3 consecutive touchdowns - in the first quarter! All three were on the first play of the possession - 79, 61 and 75 yards. His defensive squad was getting a little annoyed that he wasn't giving them much rest. Keep in mind that the opponent, Hillcrest is not the greatest team (2 and 2 for the season). Here's a link to some video that was on KSL. It shows his 3rd touchdown run. When you get to the page click on the Riverton - Hillcrest game link.

Sports Schedule


A lot of people have asked me to let them know when there is a game near them. Here's schedules for all our kids. As you can see, most of them are in Riverton or Sandy. But, there are a few scattered in other areas. No one is obligated to come, but if you do, let us know in case there's a change in location. Zach's schedule won't change. If you come to one of those games you can look for us on the 30 yard line.
