More on College Majors and Money…
A few days ago, I wrote about the jobs a Park City graduate should aim for, if they want to move back to Park City ASAP. This graphic isn’t Utah specific, but it provides another glimpse at the majors making the highest salaries. It is framed around the concept that majors which males pursue typically make more …
Modern Day Activism
I saw this today on Reddit and had to chuckle… When I saw that my mind immediately thought of two people: the ‘Smile You are Beautiful’ kid and the ‘Park City Pedestrian Passage’ Woman. One held up a sign for a few days, his message went “viral”, the school recognized him at an assembly, a …
Suggested Reading: The Brutal Costs of Raising the World’s 631st-Best Tennis Player
One of the things Park City cherishes is its athletics, whether that is individual sports like giant slalom or team sports like lacrosse. Yet, I often cringe when fellow parents will tell me that that their little Suzie, who plays on the 3rd-string soccer team, is going to pay her way through college using those soccer …

You may have heard of Ashley Madison, the website which helps arrange extramarital affairs.. They were recently hacked and 30 million accounts were exposed by a group of hackers that are still at large. As you can imagine, this is a big deal because it deals with infidelity — and lots of it.

What Do Worms Eat?

A citizen stood up and said that traffic already wasn’t great around Ecker Hill School and wondered what will happen when the another school is put at the location. The response …
Rock and Roll and the Lack of Diversity in Park City
It doesn’t get better than spending an evening with an old friend. In this case, I had the chance to spend Saturday evening at the Van Halen concert down in Salt Lake at USANA amphitheater. It was everything one could ask for in rock concert. David Lee Roth, even at age 61, still slides down …
Needed a Little Break
Sorry there haven’t been updates in a few days. I needed a little break. Now, just like Richard Nixon I’m: TAN … RESTED… and READY Let’s get back to it.
Another Reason Why Making Plans for 2040 Just Doesn’t Make Sense
Scientists in the UK have just published research that seems to validate that in about 15 years the world will experience a “mini ice age.” It seems the authors of the study have studied solar activity and have developed an ability to predict changes. These changes in solar activity seem to highly correlate (perhaps even …
Citizens Question Objectivity of a KPCW News Report on Rebuilding Schools
I received a call from a friend last week. She, in a somewhat exasperated tone said, “Have you ever heard anything as biased as that story on the Randy Barton Show (KPCW) about the School Board’s First Public Master Planning Meeting?” She was referring to a recorded segment by a KPCW reporter that aired during …
