I’m starting a new segment for my website called “5 Things” which is a list of five new things to investigate, to try, recommend, whatever.

Basically its a way to get me to post more frequently without spending hours on trying to come up with content, but more importantly, its a way to quickly find some good conversation starters. If you’re interested in tracking this, I’ve added a new category called, “5 Things.” (betcha never would have guessed that).

Amy and I returned from hiking the Grand Canyon, visiting Hoover Dam and also hitting Las Vegas. Pictures of the trip have been posted.

Amy and I hit a few lookout points today as well as hiked a little way into the Canyon. We hit a bit of rain while at “Hermit’s Rest” but it didn’t last long and luckily, the point had shelter for us to hang out at while it passed. The rest of the day was great though. Lots of great photos. Here are a few:
