Had a busy weekend. I suppose the main thing I did was work on my duct tape camper. Yep, you read that right. My daughter and I are making a camper out of duct tape. And we’re going camping with it next weekend. No photos today, but not to worry, photos and videos are coming.

If you’re like me, you receive several e-mails every week from some friend or relative plugging some cause and including a call to action like, “make your voice heard, forward this e-mail to everyone you know”.
Most such messages I receive are about U.S. immigration policies. But I also receive messages like, “put Christ back in [...]

We’re heading into the Christmas weekend, and the Crevier family will be busy again. One day with my sister-in-law in Iron Mountain, MI, Christmas Eve at my Mom’s house in Green Bay, Christmas morning here at home with the girls then over to my Mom’s house again, and the day after Christmas at my aunt [...]

Well, another Thanksgiving holiday is in the books. Tricia puts on a very nice Thanksgiving dinner here at our house every year. I made the mashed potatoes and carved the turkey, but the whole event is pretty much Tricia’s creation.
This year was cool because the Packers also played (yes, they beat the Lions 37-26). So, [...]

I make my living on the internet. I’ve been doing so since 1995. I believe deeply in the power of the internet; it’s by far the most powerful medium in the history of the world. But it has its dangers. So, how do I respond when people ask, “Scott, how do you protect your kids [...]

Had the most interesting Flag Day of my life today. As “holidays” go, Flag Day is pretty tame. But every year, I put my flag out on June 14 to show respect for this great symbol of our country and its history. This year, I actually did something.
This story starts back on a spring day [...]

My wife and I celebrated 20 years of marriage last week. It was actually pretty low key, but we did manage to go out to dinner together, just the two of us.
What’s even more cool is that we played racquetball this week. You know when you have those times when you’re doing something nice or [...]

I’ve been paying a bit of attention to the Archdiocese of New Orleans since my trip there last month. And I just read an article written by Archbishop Alfred C. Hughes titled “Children need married parents“; his conclusions are just plain wrong.
First, here’s a quote from the article:
“It is now clear from social studies that [...]

What a season. We seem to be busier than ever this year.
Deer hunting was quite fun this year with my daughter. It was the first time she carried a firearm. She didn’t shoot. I got a few shots off, but they were about 140 yards away and moving too fast. So, no deer this year.

Just got done packing the Explorer in preparation for the annual hunting trip. My family has been hunting whitetail deer in Marinette County, Wisconsin for decades. It’s a pretty solid tradition; every year, on the Friday before Thanksgiving, my dad and his brothers converge at the hunting cabin in the woods near Beecher. My brother [...]

Well, I’m finally writing about our family vacation. First of all, I took two weeks off from my job as web developer at St. Norbert College. This was the first two-week vacation I can ever remember taking. It was very nice!
We left town on Friday, March 17 and flew from Green Bay to Los Angeles. [...]

I’m kind of an electronics freak, and I tend to hook stuff up around my house just because I can. This was the case Saturday. My daughter and I put a new garage door switch in my Ford Explorer. So what the hell is that?
Well, I bought a momentary push button switch from Radio Shack [...]
