Blue eyes give me a glance, a blink; you smile, a happy wrinkle rising on your face, an image of joy that will last a long while, and call me home to share in your embrace, where lips caress and press against my own, entangling bodies, arms, and hands, and fingertips, we pull and join […]

I remember the moment turned my computer on and noticed it had rebooted. I opened my word document where I was writing my book 2. I’d just sprinted through 2-1/2 the night before. Well, those chapters were just gone. More than 45 pages. As a tech geek, I did some crazy things to try to recover […]
BYU at Boise State Preview
Results to date Boise State Boise State is 6-0. The Broncos deserve props for beating all the teams on their schedule, include two Power 5 schools. You can’t ask for more. Or could you? One of the P5 wins was against one of the worst teams in the nation, OSU. The Broncos looked vulnerable against both […]
The Big XII has decided to expand. They are investigating teams. Many fans of BYU are hopeful that the expansion will include them. However, there are many teams that could get an invite, and the Big XII is only going to choose two to four teams. Based on statistics (see them at https://www.byutobig12.com), BYU would be […]

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 106
In college I read all of Shakespeare’s sonnets. The one I picked to memorize was #106. Shakespeare’s sonnet #106 When in the chronicle of wasted time, I see descriptions of the fairest wights, And beauty making beautiful old rhyme, In praise of ladies dead, and lovely knights, Then in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best, […]
BYU and Utah and two teams that are constantly looking for legitimacy. No championship is more questioned than that of BYU in 1984. Going 14-1 in 1996 wasn’t good enough for BYU to play in a top bowl, let alone a chance for the Championship. Utah never had a relevant season until they went undefeated […]
Kyle Whittingham is in the hot seat this year. Utah hadn’t played anyone of note yet. No, this year Michigan is not a team “of note.” For that matter, Washington State, coming in with a 1 – 3 record, was hardly considered a team of note either. That is what makes this loss so hard […]
BYU 41 – 33 Virginia
Virginia decided to show up and play to win. They looked like a team that could knock off a ranked opponent, and not just because they knocked off #21 Louisville last week. They played with similar power against the Cougars. As expected, the quarterback running had a big impact on the first drive, resulting in […]
The first 25 minutes for BYU, it seemed the only wrong they could do was commit penalties, but it didn’t matter, ’cause they could make up for them. The rest of the game, BYU looked average at best. For the entire game, both BYU and Houston looked mistake prone. BYU seemed able to overcome the […]
