EVERY DAY IS MY UTAH SKI VACATION

by Troy Pattee on January 10th, 2012

You wanted snow? I've got your snow!

I‘m not going to lie to you, I really like snow. Not in a “Hey look, it’s snowing!” type of way, but more of a “snow flows through my veins” kind of thing. Some may say that I’m addicted to snow, but I’m not. I can stop anytime–but why would I? I’ll take as much [...]

IT’S TIME TO SKI FOR THE AGES

by Troy Pattee on December 29th, 2011

I was reminiscing with friends recently about the way things were when we were young as compared to what our own kids experience today. Rotary phones, typewriters, and riding in the back of pickup trucks are all things of the past. Sadly, today’s kids will never know the joys of when disco was new, mullets [...]

MOVEMBER–CHANGING THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH

by Troy Pattee on November 30th, 2011

Few things in life are as motivating to a man as the opportunity to grow facial hair. Movember provides just such an opportunity. As a rule, I am typically anti-mustache–and I’m not the only one. A recent survey of my children; my next-door-neighbor, Doug; and Shannon from my local 7-Eleven confirms that four out of five [...]

DO THEY GIVE PURPLE HEARTS ON BLACK FRIDAY?

by Rodger Skibbum on November 16th, 2011

I thought she was shopping, but out of the blue my wife burst into the room. She caught me red handed watching NASCAR on my black and white TV in the garage–I was supposed to be raking leaves. But Dale Jr. had just been given the green light and I would not be so easily [...]

CHANGING THE CLOCK…SO THE KIDS WILL GO TO BED

by Troy Pattee on November 14th, 2011

Today was a very busy day, and when the kids got home from school it just got busier. You know the drill, carpool, karate, art class, dinner, homework…and I still had a couple hours of work to do myself. Daylight Savings Time had just ended a few days ago and the boys were having a [...]

DADVENTUROUS IN REDBOOK…WHAT I REALLY SAID

by Troy Pattee on October 27th, 2011

Okay, it’s been a pretty heady week here in the ‘ol man cave. My piece in Redbook Magazine seems to have been well received, plus I got an awesome shout-out from Babble.com (which is always nice). The best thing about writing for Redbook is that you have an editor to review your work and make suggestions; [...]

Grocery Shopping From a Dad’s Perspective

by Troy Pattee on October 26th, 2011

Before reading this post, there’s something you need to know: I am a man, and the thoughts that follow are written from a man’s perspective. I say this to establish my credibility. As with most subjects there may be many points of view but at my house, when it comes to shopping for groceries there’s [...]

Being in Redbook–Salma Got a Pic, But My Font Was Bigger

by Troy Pattee on October 25th, 2011

  I really enjoy Salma Hayek. Friendly, outgoing, and very easy on the eyes. Now I can only hope she’s as good a sport as she is an actress. In Exhibit A, to the left (the November 2011 issue of Redbook Magazine), in the upper right you will see in a subtle yet not insignificant font [...]

I was there courtesy of Amway Nutrilite–the global leader in sales of vitamins and supplements and a major sponsor of the Rock ‘n’ Roll [...]
