It's Official...Sun Valley Idaho has become the annual 4th of July destination for me and a few of my friends.  This was my second year visiting the "Spud" State, and If the fates allow, we'll be back again in 2013.  I Can't wait! "The Hike" this year...(yes, always a hike...and this one involved off road driving and river crossing just to get to the trail head)...took us to Kane Lake in the Sawtooth National Forest.  Elevation: 9,222 ft.  It's quite a climb, but the end result was worth the sweat.  Mind you, we didn't start at sea level, but you get the picture.    ;-)   07/12/2012

I know, I know.  You'd think I was secretly working for the Idaho Tourism Bureau.  To be on point, this is a more sentimental version of my recent visit to the spud State.  Note to Jane Peters: I promise you won't get car-sick watching this one!      Have a great mid-July weekend everyone! 07/16/2011

I'm back. ...From Idaho, that is.  I wanted to say it was my first visit to the "spud" State, but then my folks reminded me that we drove through Boise back in the mid 70's while touring the Western States on a family vacation.  Hmmm...don't seem to remember that part.  Although, I DO remember my mother dying to get back home so we could dump off the 40 foot motor home we rented for that trip.  That was about as close to "camping" as our family ever got.  Let me put it this way: if my folks were living  during the mid 1800's and a plan was made to migrate west, my mother would have waited for the transcontinental railroad to be up and running before stepping out the door.  But I digress... I met up with Tracey and Jeff who now live in Hailey, ID. (near Sun Valley).  During my stay, I co... 07/08/2011

If consumer spending is a keystone element in the U.S. economic recovery, a full-on rebound is likely underway. Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its national January Retail Sales figures and, for the seventh straight month, the data surpassed expectations. Last month's retail figures climbed 0.3 percent as total sales receipts reached an all-time high. It's good news for the economy which is scratching back after a prolonged recession, however as we have discussed in previous postings, if you're looking for a mortgage - rates have been going up since November and are not going to turn around anytime soon.  Because consumer spending accounts for the majority of the U.S. economy, Retail Sales growth means more economic growth and that growth draws Wall Street's dollars toward riskier i... 02/15/2011
