A new name for my blog!

First of all, an admission.  Yes, from time to time, I listen to country music.  Gasp!  Judge me if you will, but sometimes a little country twang really hits the spot.  I'd like to think in another life I was a raging steel pedal guitar player wearing tight Wrangler jeans, a pearl button shirt and a huge white cowboy hat.  On second thought, maybe I would have been more of a Robert Randolph type.

Why come out of the closet with this information you may ask?  Well, I was on my way home from skiing three icy runs at Bridger this morning and on came the song "Time Well Wasted" by Brad Paisley.  Jess is a big fan of Brad and I may or may not have gone to his concert a couple months ago.  If you don't know the song (or if you do, but someone is looking over your shoulder and you want to pretend you don't) it basically talks about the importance of getting out and doing something fun with people you enjoy, rather than always sticking to the boring tasks that everyday life throws at us.  For instance, Brad would encourage us to put off fixing the truck and instead, go bass fishing with dad.  Ah, good ol' country livin'!



At any rate, I've always enjoyed the message of that song and it hit me today that what better name could you have for a blog devoted to hanging needlessly from rocks, sliding dangerously down icy mountains or any of the other strange things people around these parts do for a good time?  So, with the weekend fast approaching, I hope everyone out there is thinking long and hard about how they will waste their time in the coming days.  You won't regret it!
