Wyoming Vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

September 22, 2017 by pfeifer

Last year (2016) we took a family vacation to Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I meant to post information about the trip online a long time ago, but I’ve been very busy with other matters that kept me away from this website. While I plan to continue writing on my usual topics of interest, I am adding travel reviews, journals, and vacation guides to the material on this website.

Anyway, I’ve written a number of articles about our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation in Wyoming, and I’ve linked them all in the following list. The articles are longer and more rambling than I would prefer, but I was trying to cover a lot of material in a short time. I’ll be more concise and structure them differently in the future.

I hope you find the information helpful in your vacation planning.

The Greatest Lawyer Jokes of All Time still in print

Yesterday morning an acquaintance said she wished she knew where to find a good lawyer joke book for her boyfriend, a law school student. As luck would have it, I knew just the book to recommend. (Note: see FTC Notice). In 2007, I published a small book of lawyer jokes called The Greatest Lawyer Jokes […]

Lying Cops and Rubber-Stamp Judges: What Can an Appellate Court Do?

A recent ruling from a Florida appellate court in the case of Ruiz v. State questioned the honest of the cops and the independence of the judge in a dispute over whether a defendant had given consent to a search of his home. The appellate court all but said the law enforcement officers committed perjury, […]

Misleading Government Headlines on Bankruptcy Report

Yesterday the Administrative Office for the U.S. Courts released a report entitled Growth in Bankruptcy Filings Slows in Calendar Year 2010. At first glance, one might be lead to believe that meant that bankruptcy filings had gone down in 2010. While this would be the desired political result of a government that wants people to think […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Vacation Review, Day 3 – Jackson Lake Lodge, Stargazing, and Colter Bay Village (CBV) Dinner Wagon Ride

Day 3 of our trip started late because we had stayed up so late stargazing. The view of the night sky over Grand Teton from Jackson Lake Lodge is simply staggering. To get the full effect, you will need to stay up very late. It is also helpful to download one of the astronomy apps […]

Defending Christina Aguilera Singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl

To hear people talking about Christina Aguilera screwing up a line in the national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner) while singing at the Superbowl, one would think she walked out on stage long enough to urinate on the American flag, wiped her ass with a page from the Bible, and gave everyone the finger while goose-stepping off the stage to the tune of Horst-Wessel Lied. That’s not how I remember her performance. In fact, I’ll even confess to enjoying hearing her sing it.

Scriptwriting Software – Writing a Script for a Movie, Play, or Television Show

Writing a script for a movie, play, or television show is very different than writing a novel, especially when it comes to the formatting of the pages. The process can be challenging and tedious when using just a regular word processor, but a good scriptwriting program can make formatting a script much easier. To help […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 9 – Signal Mountain Lodge, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson Square, Moos, and the Snow King Resort

I woke up just before 5:00 a.m. and watched the sun rise from our cabin window. They do sunrises and sunsets very well at the Signal Mountain Lodge. The morning sky was cloudy, which made the sky look all the more impressive. We cooked breakfast in our room again, taking advantage of the last time […]

Why your lawyer won’t take or return your phone calls – top 10 reasons

The most frequent complaint about lawyers is they won’t take or return phone calls. Articles on this subject usually sugarcoat the issue, give some blah blah blah about professional responsibility, or try to it wrap up in a touchy-feely feel-good win-win conclusion. No one really wants to tell you what is going on. You want the truth about why your lawyer doesn’t want to talk to you? Here are the top ten reasons your attorney won’t return your calls.

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 10 – Jackson, Snow King Lodge, Jackson Town Square, 4th of July Parade, Snow King Mini-Golf, Town Square Shootout, Jackson Hole Rodeo and Fireworks

Our first night sleeping at Snow King Lodge was great. Although I stayed up late as always, I fell asleep quickly in the big comfortable bed. Out of the entire trip, the beds and pillows at Snow King Lodge were the best. I probably could have slept through the entire morning had I not been […]

Another recent addition to the Stubborn Writer website is our Writing Publications Directory. We compiled a list of as many publications on writing as we could find, and put them all together in one place. If you are the publisher of a writing publication we have not listed or if you know of something we […]
