Catching our Breaths

Today was a good day.  No banks folded.  Congress took a break from legislating.  Wall Street sighed relief and rebounded.  I think the pervading feeling is that when our US legislators regroup on Wednesday and Thursday, a bill will be passed.  It may not be the right bill, but it will ease fears of [...]

Meeting Monday

It was a meeting Monday for us all.  Tim’s partners Bob and Dan came from Alpine and Bozeman, respectively, for a day of strategizing.   Jimmie Shell was an Eastern Idaho road warrior, traveling 300 miles to Dubois, Rexburg, St. Anthony and Driggs for meetings with local telecom companies.  I was in the office, finally [...]

Capping Off a Great Weekend

This morning we stirred in our sleep from the giggles of small children.  That laughter belonged to Parker and Ann Holcomb as Jimmie Shell hoisted them up to our bed in Frank.   In 10 seconds, we went from deep slumber to mayhem as a 6 year old and 4 year old brought us all [...]

A Perfect Fall Day

Today we woke up to the perfect autumn day.  Tim, Jimmie and I packed up Frank for camping and headed north to the Buffalo Fork of the Snake.  Jimmie had been craving some flyfishing and there is no better place in Jackson to go in the Fall.  The entire valley north of the Park [...]

A Week of Debates

Today a week of debates on the blog climaxed with the actual Presidential Debate this evening.  For us, the debate was highlighted by a visit for the weekend by the all time smoothest debater of them all, Mr. Jimmie Shell.  Jimmie has been waging a covert war on Tim, slowly bringing him out of [...]

White Grass

Today we woke to blue skies, bright yellow aspens and 24 degrees on the thermometer…..BBBBRRRR!   Tim and I miss those hot, muggy August days on the beach!   Fortunately in Jackson, 50 degree temperature swings are the norm, and the day warmed up considerably.   I spent most of my day in the office, but Tim [...]

Happy Birthday Nene!!

Today is Christine Wilkerson’s 94th Birthday!  Christine is Tim’s Grandmother and the inspiration for this blog and we wanted to spend some time telling you about this fantastic lady.

Nene was born on September 24th, 1914 in Kentuck, Virginia.  She grew up in a big family of Bennetts and married Everett Wilkerson when she was [...]

What a Difference (Several) Days Make

After weeks of bad news from the economy, today brought a glimmer of hope.  Tim snapped a picture of the first diesel in Jackson under $4.00 in 6 months.   I never thought I’d be so excited to see $3.96 for a gallon of gas.  It brought back memories of the worst of our travels.

This [...]

Seeing Green

We went to bed early last night in order to get ready for an early day today, but sometimes the best laid plans are not to be.  Instead of our 5 am projected start, we were up at the crack of 7.  I think we needed the rest after our busy weekend.  I was [...]

Out and About

Since Tim and I have been back from our trip East, we’ve buckled down for work.  Today we decided it was time to enjoy Jackson Fall and get back out in the fresh air.

Bright and early at 5 am, Tom, Jenn, Tim and I drove up to the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River [...]

How Far Can a Thin Mint Go?

It’s an age old question, one that we were able to answer today: just how far can a Thin Mint go?  We’ll get back to that….

Today Tim and I slept in late.  Wow, after a busy week, it felt great.  Tom and Jenn left to attend the Jackson Hole Art Fair Quick Draw, [...]

Cache and Cougars

After an extremely busy week of work, it was time to unwind.  At 4:30 pm, Tim and Chris Wolstenholme decided that the way to kick off the weekend was to longboard through town.  Yesterday’s incredible longboard video inspired them both.  While Redmond to Broadway in the relatively flat town of Jackson is no Claremont, [...]

Video Bests

After two hard-at-work days, Tim and I had a very enjoyable night.  We started the evening with a delicious dinner of lamb, bruised tomato salad and taboule compliments of Dan’s lamb and the Dinner Doctor.  Wow it was good.  I then rode my bike a mile to Zach’s house for a long needed catchup [...]

Coffee Water Beer

Tonight’s title is an inspiration from Tim.  Coffee Water Beer represents the daily cycle of life here in Jackson.

We woke up to the smell of coffee this morning and it got us kick started.  It was another busy day, with Tim having a repeat cup of joe during a meeting with Jonathan Schecter, Mike [...]

New Ideas

This Tuesday was about new ideas and getting things done.  It was a day of meetings for Tim, but he also got to spend time wrapping up Vertical Media’s newest site.  Based on enormous visitor demand for webcams, VM has been collecting camera images from all over the West.   Alltravelcams.com is a compilation of over [...]

A Day in the Life of Belle

Our morning begins with Belle, our enormous, white, fluffy, foster Great Pyrenees.  Belle wakes to a beautiful Fall morning, full of good smells and sounds.  People hop over her to get to the shower and to their coffee, but Belle rests and relaxes, waiting for the sound of food cascading into her bowl.

After a fine [...]

Travel Planning

After being home exactly 5 days, Tim and I have already begun to hatch new travel adventures.  We’ve updated our travel page to reflect our change in plans.  September will now be a stay at home month.  We are looking forward to seeing Vancouver, but I think it will have to be next spring.

Instead [...]

Fall Days

It was another gorgeous Jackson autumn day.  It’s these types of days that remind us why we live in here.  The temperature was 65, the air is crisp and light turns to gold as the sun creeps lower in the horizon.  It would be a perfect day to head up to the Buffalo Fork [...]

Lehman, Palin, and Chicken

As Tim and I get back into the everyday business of being home, we’ve buried ourselves in work and new money making ventures.  We’ve got quite a travel habit to support and our dreams of a future sailboat are pricey as well.  It’s time to make some more dinero.

I am hatching plans for a [...]

Shades of Fall

It’s back to work for Tim and I.  We woke up early to wish Ann off and then dove in.  On the road, we realized how good it is to keep things fresh and not to fall into the same old patterns.   So though we’re home and working again, we are trying to keep [...]
