Today Diana went to the hospital for her two week post-op doctor’s appointment. We first had to go to get an X-ray taken and then go to the cardiac waiting room and wait for the nurse to call us back.

Learning About the Silver Bullet
I spent the past two days in Denver on a business trip. I don’t mind going to Denver because it’s such a short flight but my favorite business travel place is Irvine, CA because I know it so well. Denver seems to me to be fairly similar to Salt Lake City in terms of tourist… Continue reading Learning About the Silver Bullet
A new calling
On Friday, the 2nd counselor called and asked if he could meet with me on Sunday morning. My first thought was “”Uh oh”. I spent all weekend thinking about what possible calling I could be getting (I’m currently teaching Primary with Nancy which is a cakewalk calling that I really like). The 2nd counselor is… Continue reading A new calling
A Low Key 4th
We had a pretty low key 4th of July. The problem with this year’s fourth is that it was right in the middle of the week. Had it been on Tuesday or Thursday, I would have taken Monday or Friday off and made it a nice long weekend but with the fourth in the middle… Continue reading A Low Key 4th

Summer days
Nancy and I slept in today and were generally lazy in the morning but this afternoon I got off my duff and took the kids to the swimming pool. Diana wanted to go swimming but she can’t get her incision wet for another couple of weeks yet so she was bummed when we told her… Continue reading Summer days
No Phone
Today Nancy called me on my cellphone and told me that our land-line phone was dead — no dial tone. (She called from her cell phone) I got a little bit worried because I ran my own phone lines so if there is a problem with the phones I can’t just call the warranty department… Continue reading No Phone
